Rainy December Day


It’s
as
if a
chasse d’eau were
continually 
being pulled today, and all grey.

Note
So I’ve come back to a form (fibonacci) I used to practice a lot for a while and then didn’t for a long time. Nothing but the truth in this one – the waters of the sky are coming down on Rome in varying degrees of mercilessness, and it’s so dark you can hardly call it day.

It is that sound haiku

With my back to the 
window I sense – I know – that
it’s raining again.

Note
There is no other sound quite like rain coming down. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards knew it:
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground
As Tears Go By (The Rolling Stones)
