rain steady on

the weather seems steady.

we have rain again,

it's not the rolly, fat cloud, stormy kind we had for a month.

this is rain regular, thank you.
.

other parts of the country may be filling up soggy.

we're handling it. it's running off, somehow.

our fields aren't puddles

but i wouldn't want to run a tractor in it..

i'm listening to myself

thinking that i'm not talking about
faces i see on the city streets of Rome.

for the lack of those daily familiars  my heart aches.
