it has been raining for a week…

it has been raining for a week. its like that story by Bradbury
about the rain planet where all colour is washed away, all
plantlife being born and then rotting within seconds. in reality the garden is full of frogs
and toads..all calling to eachother and all being drawn closer
by my late night sonics.

the rain hasn’t actually stopped in this whole time, maybe for
a few moments now and again.

two days ago i saw two frogs at the bottom of the pond mating.
lush underwater sound, the unblinking eyes of cold lovers as
they perform this moveless dance all the while eyes on me, the
monster from above.

i put myself in their place and was comforted in the extreme by this silent ritual.
and so and so i arrange and re arrange pictures on my floor
and my screen and take any pleasure i can find.
