Cold Rain




Wool once more under Gore-Tex

rain tapping on my hood

as calming     soporific

as the fire

that flutters in the grate

mind unfocused     soul adrift

stopped still

on a cold and rainy day

knowing we will die

it is as the poet said

death is the mother of beauty

an enigma at a younger age

a mystery no more

vaxed and masked

waiting here awhile

among the small astonishments.
