Even in summer there are days when rain absolutely pours, pelts,
floods, out of the sky. One of these happened recently, so much
rain that I couldn’t be sure whether it was water or not …
RAIN DAY RAIN
didn’t see silver
swim out of blue
pool in puddles
didn’t smell
didn’t hear slap whap
of fins on the roof
missed this miracle
minnows falling
down the sky
