Rain by Hone Tuwhare
I can hear you
making small holes
in the silence
rain
If I were deaf
the pores of my skin
would open to you
and shut
And I
should know you
by the lick of you
if I were blind
he something
special smell of you
when the sun cakes
the ground
the steady
drumroll sound
you make
when the wind drops
but if I
should not hear or
smell or feel or see
you
you would still
define me
disperse me
wash over me
rain
