Sunday's Rain


	Murmurs fall on the roof
	   insistent 
	   soft
	and find me through the window
	where gray light leaks
	between venetian blinds

	Sunday's rain taps the cadence "awaken"
	after five hours of sleep
	Hints of thunder
	inch under the comforter
	   solicit attention
	   renege on the promise of dreams



"After October" follows.
