the streaking rain


the rain was 
for twenty seven days
stopped for two then
began again

within those two days
which should have stepped clear
in the sun
nothing stood
nothing shone
that wasn't sodden

when those two days ended
the rain streaked through
making burrows
for our dreams
like druming and strumming
make dwellings
for our song
