Wayne Atherton
not another song about the rain
(with opening lines
from Leonard Cohen)
And all the rain falls down amen
/
on the works / of last year’s man
rain expands its vocabulary to the sea
learns salt
born in fleeting mass of cloud
affecting and effecting mood
building flood
making mud from dirt
rain by rivulet
wiper blade rain smear on windshield
rain on roof
rain on hoof
recycled rain
rain spinning off bicycle tire
fire hissing at rain
lovers kissing in the rain
licking rain off a lover’s lips
breasts
thighs
there in that little hollow just above your navel
rainforest of glistening curly hairs...
poem getting distracted by the erotic implications
of rain
movie set rain
red and blue neon rain puddle reflection
night rain
listening to Coltrane rain
the rain in Maine falls mainly on the weekend
Pemigewasset river rain
Pemaquid rain
Indian burial ground rain
blood running with rain through civil war
death trench
rainbow!
you can never get rained on by the same rain
twice
