speak in bleakest dialect
speak in knee-deep rain respect
speak in flood tussle, hustle mud downhill
till creaks of speech overfill.
speak in clouds, loudly
speak in rowdy lightning bolts
speak in messy storms in warm air
electric oppressive bleach black night to fair.
listen, in the calm balmy.
listen in puddles doubling.
listen in drops from leaf from sky
and glisten as a prism when light applies.
listen as the rain grows slow
listen in the afterglow
listen as the call of the crow
greets light, ignite rainbow
and see.
