And Then the Rain

I.
Who can say that stars
are dead; when I weep
the light, fragmented.

II.
I can name one man
whose heart I swallowed;
absolute light never wavers.

III.
The terrible separation
of soul from body occurs
when we are dying.

IV.
At night, peals of thunder
sound like prayer, like losing
you and then the rain...

V.
and then the rain.
