eerie
The trees were raining today.
Bethany carefully told how thick fog
condenses. drips off branches
in warm weather.
Science does not
change the fact
that
the trees were raining today.
Wet tree-shadows on the sidewalk
made me stare.
Trees in this world do not rain.
They do not snow or hail,
being quite spectacular without
these effects.
Which is why I was surprised
that
the trees were raining today.
