I shake and turn. Then

I filter and discard the herbs,

throw out what was so fresh.

I have extracted its soul.

I have turned it to garbage.

How often I do the same

to parts of myself, to adventures

and mishaps and terrors,

to the deaths of those dear,

to the pleasures of sleek

and sliding flesh, all the leaves

and flowers of my passing days.

The rain as wine

It is a ripe rain

coming down in big fat drops

like grapes dropping on the roof—

white grapes round as moons.

It is coming in waves

whooshing through the trees.

Silvery, intimate, it softens

and washes the parched air.
