DANCES WITH RAIN

The day you took your clothes off and danced in the rain
I wrote down a poem about how your crimson hair, metallic

with wet luster was plastered against your pale skin
and I thought of William Carlos Williams'

poem about how so much depends
on a red wheelbarrow glazed with rain

and the meaning became so clear
I stopped writing and began to dance

I see your name and it just tears at my heart...but I am drawn in nonetheless...and entranced with the picture you paint...I too dance in the rain

Your glazing, each a show of words
Reigns upon me, mysting such.
Tooth Fairy, mine or to whom belongs
I dry my tears, when eyes see touch...
Yes stringing words together, you
bending ideas, uniquely yours
stretched my mind, enhanced this ride
enjoying always when yours, I tour.

smiling at remembrances

another time, another place
another name, once in this space...

Thank you all for your kind words. If you are not familiar with William Carlos Williams' poem - The Red Wheelbarrow - here it is:

so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens
