WHAT BRINGS TEARS ON A RAINY AFTERNOON

the love duet from La Boheme

that gold of day lilies

nodding in rain

a sky soft as white satin

the resplendence of snakes

their wet skin glistening

your call, unexpected

how we laughed

and remembered

how you said we go on

because there is nothing else to do
