Light Showers

Light Showers of Light


All this time we have been drinking
deep from Cartesian wells
and, no matter how sequential,
they cannot quench unfocused thirst.

Small rains will serve us wholly.

Calling on clouds may be a valid calling,
and receiving is a beggar's art.
It is the only art.
