THE DREAM OF LAST NIGHT dreamt of rain 60 plus a week the rich sound of it inside me all my ifs and whens burst into now but a conditional now the condition of dreams where the rain falls but doesn't nurture dry skin and wet inside 60 plus a week and a night morning takes away night nothing takes away dreams they linger in daylight the memory of the sound of rain in a dream is worth as much as the memory of the sound of rain in daylight
