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.
