Intervals of Light

The light comes on.

cold rain
cling in drops
of shiny

beaded introspection
hanging on . . . to illumination

The light goes off.

cold rain
cold like thin
ice, slow like t r a n s l u c en t

spider-webbing sounds
creeping...across...the grass

The light comes on.

cold rain
taps on thin
metal

with no
clear sign
of rhythmic

balance

each drop
the first
of its kind

So, I'm guessing it's raining down your way... If it is, your rain is beautiful.

I really like this, it creates images of sounds, which is not that easy to do.
