Rain Drops on Glass Window Background with Wood Table.
First-fall of language through the foliage down
to just a series of notes.
As children we are taught on which side of a mountain
precipitation tends to fall.
To go without purpose in the hills of purpose and learn,
making not a sound as it begins
as if, never having had an utterance for rain
a new thirst starts
descending from the ridgeline into the syllable of rain.
