Talking to Rain

I have spent the day

listening to rain.

Tried to translate

what it must be telling me.

Why else

would it be so insistent?

Gentle fat splats

escalated to urgent drum rolls.

Decoding  raindrops

is not as easy as it seems.

I am still clueless but

making the effort has helped us bond.

In lesson two  

I will tell it my name

and rain will teach me

how to order espresso.
