Beautiful Gentle Rain - Jan. 23, 2024

Gary Hunter

mockingbirds shower

just like you and me

 

arms and fingers raised

rinsing off the mud splatters

 

the dust and sandy grit

the un-napkined meals

 

but without any loofa 

soap or singing

 

like some of you that practice

as the cascading water

 

bends the echoes of your offkey

into a private musical smile

 

this bird will project his voice

publicly   under tonight’s moon

 

ignore the opinions of others

 

with one or two damp feathers

yet to show a clean new light
