A Raining Evening

A cold common head-winds evening, A tumultuous breeze A sea roaring, blowing north wind’s masonry seen from east to west and it comes through everywhere.

Announced big breezes, more than the natural sky and clear air; shatters the thick palpable cloudless blue sky forbidding soothing rain to blow. The earth by clear shining after the rain. Trees stiffen the air; scant, a vision.

A brittle seedless leaves sycamore trees of the wood sounding loud, olives and mulberry dark of night dead branches, rare and subtle blossom appearance facing south afar of the east to west countryside.

The coming rain; unheeded air; raining breeze still shatters, the storm.

And so I go Lingering to a Cafe anyway.
