A Walk in the Rain

Clear, cherished rain,

woven and breathing like old cloths

catching new scents outdoors,

covering my window when no one could see me,

a lonely girl in front of a trembling mirror  

 

I went across you to reach your boundaries,

walking on my heels, arms stretched stealthily,

eyes and nostrils opened,

following your road between sky and seas

letting you build me in a wall

from foundations to the roof’s top

singing in eaves

 

Impetuous rain, wrested out,

foaming, streaming with innocence,

flooding my dreams flown to nowhere,

joining fresh grafts on memories

to tame their future flowers...

 

Sometimes when I listen to you

silence grows deeper over oceans
