Most Days It Rains

Some days are all about water.  When it rains hard.  When, the next day, the road is a quarter mile river and the river is a road, three crossings the least memorable water of the day.  When the clouds lift to reveal the mountains dusted with September snow.  When the melting glacier cuts slate into the folds of a slicker. Throws off a rainbow. Makes a delta from a square foot of sand. When you shower off the day even as you drink it down.    

Bodies are water
And water needs the body
To sip and swallow.
