incredible rain: a pentaprismic suite
of floods and famines, flaws and fools
1. overture
incredible rain
stampeding tears from weeping, trembling clouds,
whose utterance the evensong enshrouds.
inedible grain
gleaned from wild seeds of poison ivy fields―
abundant nullity with swords and shields.
indelible stain
marks well the parchment of the careless ink
that leaks where mental compass strains to think.
insatiable gain
chokes up the gullet of the heedless fool
who for stark lack of wisdom can but drool.
