lyrics

RAIN-TALK AND FEVER

Menacingly, and above your thrumming
that strange melody sidewise squirming;
surfacing, to make a sharp stir.

And you rain, raining there, outside,
incessantly,
(O, and with such a long night to appease.)

At last, the fever's arched back snapping;
peace with a cool hand sitting on the bed;
beautiful. And suddenly

you were no longer there. Your sooth-sayer
voice in commiseration had vanished.
But how timely and reassuring to hear

the clock jangling the sure hour before
dawn. Ah rain, I can barely remember
the coiled and stubborn malady you helped

to float to a high dry place.
Quietened now, and like a derelict cat
cleaning itself.
