The Water-Wash

The sky finally broke.

Heavy drops on the glass.

It’s time for the good paper,

let the moments pass.


This is what I do

when the world turns grey.

The ink blooms on the sheet,

holding back the day.


A quiet scratching sound,

on paper, damp and true.

A world made in the quiet,

the only thing to do.
