Amplified by the valley
Enriched as it writhes
Among the farm buildings
Rain is in the offing
And the farmers want it
But it may be a day or two
Before the downpour
There is a crystal ‘lace’
Just in front of my face
An optical functionality warning
It happened once before
I am thus reminded of my own frailty
Of the vast vulnerability of humankind
I listen harder to next door's voices
Best hang on to all I can
Spots of rain replace yesterdays frost
On the automobile windscreen
It is time to roll off the dust track
And slide onto the mud slick highway
In the same mysterious way
That the three quarters halo
Appeared before my eyes
It now disappears
Only to leave heaviness
A memory of lost treasures
Which I thrust onto the howls
Of the Katabatic flow
