For Carol

As the rain drums down,
may the sound lull you to sleep,
silence your worries.

Carol

She rambled a lot
even before she got sick.
Silenced today,
and now I ramble of her
to the tune of rain
and sobs and sniffles.

8/11/14

At least when I cough,
I don't feel lonely. I guess
I miss lots of phlegm.

8/17/14

Grimy city, full
of human misery. Where
are the grass, trees, birds? 


-------------------

By all accounts of the well-traveled, San Francisco is a relatively clean city.  But that's not how it seemed to me this particular day.
