Intimation: On the Sound of Rain Falling through Fog

Little bitter fall,
shawl of water, brittle,
splinter into rain.
Shower down from a center,
little bitter brittle splinter
breaking round into shiver,
little pricks at
cloudy skin.
Whittle 'way at the shadow,
shower down
little shiver, wear away
from the fog from
the center, breaking in.
Weave together, loom, the water
from the threads, brittle fall,
little dawn, bitter shadow,
shower down and drift away--
wash forever into shiver
from the center, wearing fog
like a sliding shawl of water
into sun and breaking day.

This is so good, a little manic even, almost like shamanism. I liked this a lot.

Alison! You're back. I have missed reading your work. This has such cadence, almost song-like. Very cool and methodical, like the rain itself.
