Sun in Rain

In the close

In the damp

I feel you

The rain framing your hooded head
like a halo

It is night
the moon lights your face
your breath just visible

just

so close.

I saw you first in a doorway

I saw you fleetingly
as you were looking for someone else
on that day

years ago

Now, nearly ten years later
you are still like the sun
on a night

close

in damp rain
