Sweet rain rising, lifting the dampened piano that hides its teeth beneath a lid. Sweet rain, bird song, all the rain-wet exigencies a house brings to bear..../// beautiful poem penned

Tasted, smelled, rising from hot asphalt, sweet rain in the street where a man works on his camper in the rain. Like desire, felt less often now we are old, the joint pain and fatigue competing with that other. Sweet rain rising, lifting the dampened piano that hides its teeth beneath a lid. Sweet rain, bird song, all the rain-wet - - - - - - - - -Rain evokes such sweet memories, the present pain seems to vanish under its effect! ! A lovely poem.
