a rainy day in may
to resist napping on this rainy Sunday afternoon in May
could not rattle any nature lover...
we can learn a new song...
with the rain as the background--
bossa nova--jobim style jive...
how the rain drops slap the pavement--
in syncopation... pushes
the percussionists to dust off congas--
and to get on with laying down the beat,
the music-- bathing floor to ceiling-
with a driving pulse helps to distract
from the desire to walk
in a light drizzle at dusk--
the sweet ending of May still
satisfies our need for the profusion
of flowers falling...gently-- with
the rain-dappled petals at our feet
