the long cold rainy day remembering

on this memory

of a rainy day

when all the powers

that be

and have been created

are hovering side-by-side

by side

in my remembering

and there's so little to redeem

the deep-seated hopelessness

no hope for changing

the feeling

of cold within

and without

my body

i find solace and release

in the music of riceboy sleeps

as it reminds me

of the moment

of promise

contained

within each raindrop
