the miracle of water

Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville
-Paul Verlaine

Knowing you’d spend the day
in an office with no window,
you send me on my way
with an assignment: Enjoy
this beautiful day

for both of us. I begin
with the poetry of sunshine
here, now as a gift to the world,

knowing when the sun shines
on me, it shines on everyone,
undeniable as rain. As long as one
sees pure hard light in Winter,

we all do. And when it rains
on you, I know the miracle of water.
