“I wanted to listen to the rain—
really listen, ears and pores and mind
wide open, as if I were a dry creek,
a newly planted seed, a sapling
desperate for water—
but already my mind
natters away at language, floods
with sounds of swoosh and rush and patter,
cannot hush, busy with its clumsy translation,
an approximation of what the rain might tell me
if I could be a patch of moss, a mountain laurel,
if I could listen without inserting myself into
every conversation.”
