AFTERNOON THOUGHT
The new year drifts into its paths and thoughts
wait! See that your eyes widen to perceive a mood
Is it raining yet?
Here in these hours there is no choice but loneliness
passing for silence, passing for stillness
Is it raining yet?
Why doubt your perception, depths are vast
and your footsteps lead to a skylight,
Is it raining yet?
Plants face the sun, coffee and toast and winter,
there is no one to talk to, no detected warmth,
Is it raining yet?
