fallwater

last night the rain came, the first real rain of the year static and lucid static and lucid i walked in it after midnight and it was like an open tap streaming off the blue-green arch of umbrella. i like the way damp air mists on my hair and the wool of my coat and the way

the whole air sounds like a monument to something sad and lost.

this morning i went out again, because i was feeling like the static on an old old record a grey sky and i think you know how i felt because it was mostly made of you, the little bits of irony and the formality and i know you're a little bit sad most of the time.

i am a wartime lover, listening to the radio for news of places where you are.

  1. is there some scientific reason why rain makes me think of static too? maybe it's all the movies where there's a tremendous storm and all they can hear on the radio is static..
