Rooftop Rain
Rooftop Rain is sounding board
for rain filtered through
bare plum branches
syncopating above the rafters.
Drops caught
gathering secondary momentum
spilling off freckled bark
landing with short trajectory plops.
I can hear the difference
between cloud-thrown
and tree-sent
between foreign and domestic.
Next Fall, when the tree is pruned,
It will change the rain song.
