COPING
It has rained for five days
running
the world is
a round puddle
of sunless water
where small islands
are only beginning
to cope
a young boy
in my garden
is bailing out water
from his flower patch
when I ask him why
he tells me
young seeds that have not seen sun
forget
and drown easily.

Today I’ve been reading a lot of Audre Lorde’s poetry and thinking that I should always, always be reading her poetry and then reading it again. Not just today.
