open the cabinet
the scent of amber resin
instant peace

on sitting through a rainstorm (20161126)
the rain overflows the gutter
a waterfall cascading
to the flowerbed
by the cold fireplace
i hear drops pelting
the chimney
wonder why a flood of soot
and nests and bones
doesn’t wash down
a cartoon tsunami
but the chair is warm
and there is peace
in the rain
a sleep-inducing rhythm
a gentle melancholy
that closes your eyes
but promises to open them
