Before The Rain
Before the rain
The air is pregnant,
Birds, still again,
Perch expectant,
Blind with heat,
Shadowed remnant
Of eucalypt, plum,
All wait the beat
Of sudden showers,
Insistent thrum
On leaf, skull, steel,
Strange conversion,
The razored feel
Of things oblique, afar,
And fathomless,
Beyond our powers
