Poems in Progress: #24–April 24, 2016

Number 24

Driving Through Rain

The sweeping arm
of the rear-view wiper
slices through rain
like a metronome.

Reliable reaper
creates,  recreates
one brief shape
of singing water.

Palladian window,
open an instant,
allows a glimpse
of the recent past.

Accelerating,
I travel through
dissolving tunnels,
collapsing time.
