Counting Time in Rain
The gap between now and yet,
between this and maybe is eternal
and yet (yes) can swaddle tight, can
dense in moments like raindrops, each
an inhale for spoiled earth,
another logos, rainbow catcher,
friend.
Friend? No.
But why the over-puddle leap? Perhaps abandon
is the stuff of faith, which is to say life, and welcomes
are welcomed with wet feet.
