in-verse

Here, you thought
Spring is here
It IS almost March, after all
But the leaves fall
And fall
And you know, really,
It's just autumn in disguise.

Now, you thought,
Peace is come
A respite-time to grow and keep
But the waters rage,
And rage,
And you know, really,
It's just anger in disguise.

Come, you thought,
It will get better,
And the skies clear,
And my eyes clear,
But it rains,
And rains,
And you know, really,
It pains.

f (x) means do to x whatever f means
and f^(-1)(x) means do the opposite.

If seasons were functions
I'm stuck in the inverse
universe.

There are words for no words...

I wish I had something to say once in a while
that made sense, and you loved me.

I wish my heart could love once in a while.
Could break out of myself, and I see you.

God knows why I have no tears for you
slipping out of my heart, drop--pattering on the carpet

But I hear something blurry,
Your fuzzy pain fills my thoughts--
and I have nothing to say.

I'm sorry.

Rainsong.

Dip tappity tap
Dip tippity too
Dap tappita lap
Drip tippata do

One-step,
Two-step.
Back,
And forward;
Onward!
Downward!
Pressing forth,
Dive deep!
Sing long--
Live life!
Belong;
Hold tight!
Pray, fight!

For Right
Stand strong.

Tap dappida,

Tap dappida,

Dee dah, dah doop

Either one loves Rain or one does not.
Either one treasures the rap-tappity, trap dap dun
or one does not care to.

Either the swirling drops entrance one, gently ease one into a dance,
a song, a rollicking joy!
Only to sigh, breathe,
Heave their heavy skirts onward,
one sighing, left behind...

Or they don't.

Tippity tap.
