Think of Rain

We need not learn
to love the world,
we’re meant to.

Think of rain,
Or speckled birds—
A soaring V of them
Across a fiery sunset.

Think of the nakedness
Of the one you loved
When you were twenty-one.
The perfumed skin, all of it.

Think of a pond full of frogs,
and the sweetness of pears.

Or the Laurels in springtime,
The little waving wildflowers.
Think of a hillside, pink
And tender with them.

Think of a yellow moon, rising.

And your own life,
Think of that.
