Rain Dream by Seth Jani

Illustration by Sue Babcock

 

I see strange constructs
In the clouds. Beautiful holes
In the immaculate body.
A purple plane
Disappearing into space.
Old men say their brains die
But their minds are loosed
Like rivers.
I can feel them charging
The air like St. Elmo’s Fire.
All those memories
Darting for the nearest
Break of light.
When the afternoon relaxes
Into the dark, into the name-
Erasing wind,
I count the parasols
Turned-up to collect
The morning.
After all we’ve been through
It’s good to know
There is only transformation.
Lost faces reconfigured
Into rain.
