Caveat: Poem #813 “The rain asserts mastery of the world”

ㅁ
The raindrops fall, suggest,
and ruminate on wood,
on steel, as if possessed,
as if their tapping could

interpret sweeping time
or render grasping trees
immobilized; their rhyme,
their syncopated tease

of meanings never found -
unfindable besides -
just apophenic sound
and rhythm that just slides

all down the edges till
the world dissolves its will.

– a sonnet in iambic trimeter.
