And Now for Something Completely Different....(M.P.)
Lan Su – Portland’s Classical Chinese Garden – photo by Stephen Morgan
Rain spotting glasses
Wheels carving narrow arcs
Down wet pavement, hissing…
Between emptied houses
Over-arching trees, waking
Storefronts, hulking warehouses…
Drawn to the river, hot breakfast
With a friend. I warm
And dry quickly.
Rain drops spotting a quiet
Pattern across the pond
The cool wet February air
Stills the droplets hanging
From twig & petal capturing
Blossom’s scent in their
Tentative grasp drawing our
Attention…, holding it
Beneath a quiet leaden sky
Perfectly. The day pulls us ahead.
