Notating the Rain Times (February 2003)

I do not drink the life of February
I wallow the wet and hibernate till 3PM
For none is rich and time is availing

But then the music kicks in
Like a ribbon of gelato descending the throat.
And a moment spins where I can breath enough
To speak of the half-lie that I’m still a boy and not a fading photograph
In back shadow, in the back lighting.

And just as quickly as some phantom
Half met after a fifth of scotch the antigravity is gone
The sting halo and the afterglow of immersion;
And there is only indulgence,
Reverie in nostalgia, and sweet sleep.

These are the rain times that the storm works a rhythym
Mesmerizing ears and without these lines
There’d be no trace left of these down times.
