mosaic

rataplan, tintinnabulation:

the ocean or a rain storm
mice in the walls, sweating
ozone churned above shore
warm drops on a slate roof,
a face----

----tired eyes, tousled hair
weary from a night of tossing,
inhale coffee, clutch a mug
sun dapples, ripple in the
windows----

----hear a glass fall some
where far off, tinkling
index of refraction, a prism,
la feneetre hold back gloom
make the gelid ebullient
