Whether


Musician in the Rain, Robert Doisneau
Our ritual forecast:
clouds in northern parts

discussed a dozen charming ways.
I tell you nonchalantly

how windows rattle,
twister of the decade roars in my chair.

You do not realize Fahrenheit;
move knee-deep in symphony,

arrange the tempest of my own making,
envelop me in temperate.

No matter how hard we try
we cannot ignore stray raindrops.

I look at you with frankness;
ask whether or not it is now.



tk/January 2014




R.A.D. Stainforth delivers the forecast beautifully...
