September draft 2

(rain)


Standing near the rain, at the edge of dry,
I see a woman wiping her nose
while her sandals squeak to shelter,
then a girl wipes the drops from her seat
with her jacket sleave, and I notice that

we're all the type of wet from the water
in the air, in our cars,
no dampness on the surface of our clothes,
but on the inside, where our skin touches
fabric.
