go, rain go
once
when it rained over florida canyon for two straight days
until the clouds split up
and the sun burst out onto texas street
unfurling one of those great flowery banners
that spreads itself from horizon to horizon
i heard you speak below your breath
nose pressed against the glass
saying “go, rain go!”
and you pulled us back
out into the wet
without our coats
just to catch those shimmering rays
before they turned back home.
