hear the whisper
of the flower
inundated by
the ray
hear the whooping sound of
the fall
of a rain drop
drip
drop
drip
drop
on the earth
sunken in wetness
listen to the flower
and get her
beauty
to the sun
and get her
perfume
to the sea
so that she sees
the sea
and understands
how salt
grows
in the waters
listen to the drop
drip
drop
drip
drop
and moisten your
lips
to the sound of
rain
pouring
pouring
pouring
catching your eye in
the fall
the fall of the drop
smashing your
ear
cracking the
tiles
breaking the
roofs
the drip drop of rain
the drip drop of rain
the drip drop of rain
falling from the green
leaf
again and again and again
