Rain: A Ghazal

Either a rift or a consummation: 
the cinematic deployments of rain.

That hidden country of scent, triggered
by heat in the earth and imminent rain.

The dark hem of approaching clouds 
unrolling over vineyards, delivering rain.

Think of the lakes' silvery fingers
combing through cool tresses of rain. 

In cities, cars drown in flooded tunnels.   
Never did I see so much damage from rain.
