Pluvia
In the nation of rainy daysXXtractor-trailers spray and glissadegray through rain down blacktopXXwith a sound like cloth tearing;an airplane circles above cloudsXXthat conceal the balding mountainand engine-sounds waver like a dreamXXvoice saying, "please, please"
In the nation of rainy daysXXthe white cottage downstreet vanishesinto gray air, disappearingXXlike a vessel lost in a hurricane;rain draws wavery vertical linesXXagainst the black doors of a barnand chimney smoke kneels on flattenedXXgrass, praying to dissipate.
In the nation of rainy daysXXclouds hang tatters of shaggy muslinas pale as winter on maplesXXthat sink like shipwrecked cottages;deer lost in overgrown orchardsXXdissolve in the mist and drizzle;abandoned by honeybees, old rosesXXand soaked clover curve earthward.
Day after day, we wake to green rainXXdrenching the garden; we slogthrough our chores slow-dancingXXto rain's brute tune that dronesthe same saturated phrase in the sameXXcadence again and againlike a lost airplane still circlingXXover the nation of rainy days.
A Winter Day Before the War
