- Three Days Rain at the Beach House
-
- It sounds like a fireplace when
- a renegade splinter attempts an
- escape
-
- Chill Damp overtakes like Death
- and sudden repentances blurt feebly
- until all that is left
- is more rain
-
- Cards & cigarettes spent, nature
- is overdoing fecundity: tell her
- she's had enough, okay?
-
- Even whispers are drowned while
- the sailors worry.
-
- Tis not a fit night out and past
- the point of lustily defying the elements
- yet the roar continues
- while we decide
- a new attitude
-
- There is no one else
- to truly inform us and so
- we bellow a moment
- to be heard
- and sleep near a window
- to hear
-
- Knowing we will wake with
- grey eyes and the sunshine
- will look hungover, but we
- will love it anyway.
