Listen to me as one listens to the rain	A
not attentive not distracted	B
light footsteps thin drizzle	C
water that is air air that is time	D
the day is still leaving	E
the night has yet to arrive	F
figurations of mist	G
at the turn of the corner	H
figurations of time	D
at the bend in this pause	I
listen to me as one listens to the rain	A
without listening hear what I say	J
with eyes open inward asleep	K
with all five senses awake	L
it's raining light footsteps a murmur of syllables	M
air and water words with no weight	N
what we are and are	O
the days and years this moment	P
weightless time and heavy sorrow	Q
listen to me as one listens to the rain	A
wet asphalt is shining	E
steam rises and walks away	J
night unfolds and looks at me	R
you are you and your body of steam	S
you and your face of night	T
you and your hair unhurried lightning	E
you cross the street and enter my forehead	U
footsteps of water across my eyes	V
listen to me as one listens to the rain	A
the asphalt's shining you cross the street	W
it is the mist wandering in the night	T
it is the night asleep in your bed	U
it is the surge of waves in your breath	X
your fingers of water dampen my forehead	U
your fingers of flame burn my eyes	V
your fingers of air open eyelids of time	D
a spring of visions and resurrections	V
listen to me as one listens to the rain	A
the years go by the moments return	Y
do you hear the footsteps in the next room	Z
not here not there you hear them	A2
in another time that is now	B2
listen to the footsteps of time	D
inventor of places with no weight nowhere	C2
listen to the rain running over the terrace	V
the night is now more night in the grove	D2
lightning has nestled among the leaves	V
a restless garden adrift go in	E2
your shadow covers this page	F2
