Summer Rain
Driving home from Dan's in the rain,
puffs of fog rise from the road —
the road so hot, the rain so cool —
the weather makes strange the short drive
from his house to mine, the place
where Irving Street curves left
past the Cathedral appears to levitate,
the green draws close, the fog
gathers in clumps.
The eyes harvest luster
and the heart drums its kettle
in gratitude, sweet gratitude,
as the whole summer world cools off.
