the rain fell
the way curtains fall:
obscuring the stage
erasing the dust
easing the thirst
the ground accumulates.
traffic--the city pulsing--
slowed, stopped:
abated, you say.
the air smiled.
everyone breathed.
love the world
the way the world wants love.
learn the shapes
(learn the names
learn the language)
learn the way
the world whispers words.
(By way of explanation: Brian told me it was impossible to write a poem using only nouns, verbs, and the word "the." I'm not a big fan of the word "impossible." But I love the definite article, that singular and specific "the." Take that, Brian!)

I love how concise the wording is.. It's rather profound in its brevity :)
