RESPITE

What? on earth 
is rain—if not first

and foremost—a word
wrung
from fountain

pens—for plenty 
of
plain waterfalling—then flung

back out onto
the world
that supplied it?

But then—
which? and what
kind—
and where?
and how and how many—? Plainly

this sort—of 
vast indoor 
work—desperately 
needs some more revising.

Luckily—it's raining out;

so now—the best application 
of that 
wordis mercy.
