Precipitation--By Sanjeev Sethi--India

Precipitation

Images collide, chased by a niagara of words

and nonwords. Every outing is a buffet

in an al fresco of experience. This season,

there is no struggle. I have to shift my salver

to the stations: stewards fix the scarcities.

Sometimes the proportions aren’t right

but that isn’t worth a wrangle. Nothing is:  

when rain has weight, wetness is beatitude.

May every bash be a banquet in this riff of rainstorms.
