Rain
Instead of his usual leap
up the front gardens, Rupert slinks
under the eaves, hugging
home.
.............................
Set at their usual volume levels,
devices become barely audible.
I'm grateful to have the roof overhead,
each variation in wind-force
and direction changing the timbre
of the percussive performance,
tones dancing from slopes to flats,
then into the soundbox
of wood walled rooms vented
by a cylindrical steel chimney.
Body warm and sheltered,
mind free to drift.
