when it rains.

it wakes inside me;

a buried past reborn.

up through grass and garden: bubbles

water drops on branches, doubled

in the dampness, last year’s leaves decay.

loamy presence hugs my being;

pheromones, so revealing

when it rains.

I feel myself dissolving,

in the rain, I hear you calling,

when it rains

.
