Poems
Parade, Rain
Let it fall – the slosh,
mud-making, pith peeling,
wash of it. Let it pour
pails, scuttles, washtubs,
farm animals, front-end loaders,
tank trucks. Hose, gutter-flood,
monsoon and hurricane it.
Nor’easter my plans, disrupt,
postpone, evacuate, cancel,
wipe out. Unlock the locks,
plane the flood plain; Mississippi,
Nile, Amazon, my parade.
Stop me
before I love again.
