Mountain Rain

 


 

Someone left  their navy blue

towel and three pairs of printed socks

On the clothesline

To dry.

 

But here they are, dripping.

Cold

Wetter than the rain, which seems to be  

catching its breath behind the ominous clouds.

Or is it a child hiding behind the curtains

waiting for its game of peek-a-boo?

Luring the tourists to take heart

and step out of their hiding holes

 

  

And here I am – not a tourist but a fool

lured onto the terrace.

with neither an umbrella nor a towel

to save me from the pouncing rain!
