Between the Rain and Sun

We live in drought
   As summer sings to fall
My wandering clothes
   Have filled with filth through all

A sunny view
Along the road I came
To pray for peace
   On a night of calming rain

The rooftop tiles
   Have washed with water’s lash
The rusted drains
   Have carried off the ash

Along the harbor east
   I walk as water flows
Perhaps somewhere
   There’s someone else who knows

My heart is clear
   As air begins to chill
Another land
   Contains desires still

This wild dance
   That leads us far from free
I roam some more
   To see the open sea
