Dry Rain

Today in San Diego it's finally, finally raining —in fact it's raining all up and down the California Coast! Although I wrote this a while ago as a mood poem rather than a weather poem, today's so extremely wet it'll work for weather as well...

DRY RAIN

It's a dry rain again
and a dry sleep, too
a half sleep
trying to welcome me

I need a welcoming sleep
a remembering rest

Listen to the stillness

It's still a dry sleep
in a dry rain
a quiet half sleep

I need a wakening sleep
A surprising sleep
