A Night of Rain

The rain called

them out to it.

Freckled the sandy earth.

Made

a blanket for their sex.

Watered their flowering

bodies.

The rain slipped over them, silky fluid seeping from the openings

of the clouds shifting above them. Wet

their wet lips.

Beaded in their tangled

curls. Rode down

the slopes of their skin, slowly—like

fingertips.

The rain moaned

outside

their dim windows that watched it spill

into puddles. Drops disappeared

into the sodden

mire

as the lovers soaked into each other on the humid bed

inside.
