That night it rained
It rained all night
The wind
was in our ears
all night long-
Talked, we talked
But by morning
we weren’t listening
any more
Already birds
were at the window
the planets
glowing in the garden-
Leaves were still falling
Yellow and dead, leaves
flattering the wind-
‘And I stood there
among the striking and shining
like a prince thinking of his disguise’
And I put on my small eyes-
Got embraced
Told to wear flannel
Left.
