“All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain” - Roy Batty, Blade Runner
What the rain does
It washes sky
Lashes leaves at the nodes
Leaving like tears drops on blades
What the rain does
Is empty of clouds
Groaning in thunder
Sparking in lightning
What the rain does
Is tug at the heartstrings
Knowing that the flood
Of tears will not heal only soothe
But life continues
To the auger of the rains
Even if it be forty day or nights
When a sprig in a beak hails
A new form
Then all the moments
Will be lost in time,
Like tears in rain

BIRTHDAYS THAT WAY
Hip hip hurrah, the way birthdays appear
There again and again
Repeatedly like a cheer
Sometimes boisterous some times tame
Come raise a glass, the way birthdays appear
Sneaking in with face lines
And bodies shaped like pear
With streamers and buntings
And friends ever so dear
To eat cake in slices
Circles around the sun, the way birthdays appear

wild fowl haven,
sunlight slithers over the water.
to browse her weight in hyacinths,
the lazy caiman rolls her eyes,
just above the surface of the water,
munching her greed water fodder,
oblivious to duck ponds and audience stares.
what a sleepy dreamy life.
