A Strange Rain

Nogent Sur Oise, Criel in the background
The same panoramic view,
The texture now drowsy
And now resplendently new—
The providence of mother busy—,
Before the same two dull eyes
Now blood-shot, now morbidly dyed.

It’s the rain of today
Like the rare expo of mother’s skill
Languidly falling bigger drops, say
Like beaded curtain in rolling drill
But the ripples of distant tiny drops
Myriad, entangled like flurry of hopes—

To live now or stuck out there;
To value it or to be swept away
Into myriad eternity yonder,
Uncertainty flickers at murky bay.
Even so attached tomorrow
Like a formless desperate crow.

Nay I can look out there
Or have such intertwined plans.
Nay, even for a second, I dare
Think that I of such swimming clan.
Say coward. Yes, I am but dreamer
I am but so preposterous for you—

As I dream
Off the ground of flurries,
So novel yet so outrageous.
