rain, now:
indiscriminate, persistent rain fallingon shoulders, heads, toes, spirits -
angering stream and river gods
death wearing dark cloak of water,
floods, broiling torrents.
we pray to unseen anitos
lying on piles of bones
exhaling old adorations.
how immutable the force of this creation
how terrifyingly beautiful the roiling of waves
and mud carrying logs, debris, fathers, mothers,
sisters and brothers embraced
in the sinister cloak of death.
