Rain splashes, blesses
this alien garden this
.
walled green square these
tumbling flowers and pillars
.
and vines. It plinks splosh-drink
in the fishpond, wet
.
grey mist turns paving stones
to glass. I will stand,
.
let wet anoint me
among heavy leaves, let
.
weightlessness teach me
to float – passive,
.
tingling, exposed, loved
by the small cold kisses of air.
