rainmusic

rainmusic


A sparsely furnished room:
light comes and goes,
casts shadows, manipulates mood.


Outside: the sound of rain.
Inside: music plays.
When one rises, one falls:
the low rumble of thunder,
a bass trombone.


Outside: a passing car 
splashes a large puddle;
Inside: a crashing cymbal.


The record ends.
Light drops tap at the window;
the needle skips:
scratch, scratch, scratch;
a lightning flash, and you are gone.
