not all rains

not all rain
comes in sideways

beating the roof, flooding
the basement,

splintering the boards.

not all rains
fill

the streams and take
with them

the old trees.
wooded debris.

not all are storms
with thunder

and lightning in the mix,

some are just gradual
events, slow,
almost poetic in a literary
sense.

starting out with a few
drops
and then  a gentle
pour

until it's a soft parade
of wetness,
and sheen.

the black streets  dark
no more.
