rainstorm in a teaspoon of the dark.

 

When the night's pipette
sips me
from this grey air

I sleep in a white shroud,
pulling dreams,
flickering like doves,
from beneath my black cloak.

Underneath the cloud
I fall before the monotonous comfort
of the rain.

The teaspoon stirs,
dissolves me into darkness,
and the milk of dreams is clouded
by the noise.
