Rain Sonata

71 9 5
                                        

Rain trembles
upon my skin,
Playing a solo
on my cheekbones
and a chorus on my
skybound palms,

Suddenly,
and without hesitation,
I've been
transformed
into an instrument
for heaven's gray
melancholy song,
as the clouds
break
into a crescendo
of falling

tears.
