The rain rains
between sky and ground,
earth submerged
under puddles,
asphalt a slick swish.
The rain rumbles
all hours — all day
and at night
wetter — colder.
Under my umbrella
my belly is cold,
no thermals between
me and the sleet
sheeting down.
I hurry shivering.
The rain rains
from sky to ground
brown pools
cover the pavement.
In them I see
the inexhaustible
brilliance of cloud.
