Rain
Fingertiip traces
curve of lower lip;
Let slip your slip
Of silk
down,
Arrest a scant moment
on slope of silken hip.
Sudden gasp,
surprise
Caught in throat
Belies placidity
When touched by plume.
Memories of lust
Flood secret recesses
Of cerebral cortex;
A dulcet drizzle
Swells clouds,
Portending torrents.

The pain is become me
I resist it no more
Now, only the dull roar of voices---
Waves crashing upon some distant shore
The pitter-patter of rain on the tin roof
The crib-creaking of an unlatched door
No one matters. Nothing.
Except, outside the window
The rolling of a lone rain pearl
From one sal leaf to another,
To another, yet another---
To the red-earth, forest floor
