Downspouts
November's infinitude of monotone
is at its greatest glory in the rain;
that constant rain that says we are alone
be we in pleasure, or be we in pain,
notwithstanding the company we keep
or if we keep no company at all
in the melancholy where gray skies weep
as summer's pigment...takes a curtain call.

There's something so pure about rain, like it's cleansing, but get too much of it and it will drown us all.
Excellent closing lines.

Here around Portland we've always gotten a lot of those steady three or four day rain events that seem to last forever.
