I haven’t seen
it rain so
hard when
it’s warm like this

she said
standing in
her
nightgown

I have
he said
stripped to the
waist

standing behind
her
lighting a
cigarette

the glow
illuminating
a face in
concentration

once
in Florida, he said
it rained
just like this
he saw
her body shift
beneath the
fabric and placed

his hand
on her waist
exhaling.
it came down

so hard
we pulled
over
to wait out

the rain
