Symphony of Rain
Rain as city percussion.
Rain in New Orleans is not background noise. It drums the cobblestones, rinses the oak, files worry into the gutter with the same persistence as a relative who means well.
Symphony is declined. Percussion is accurate — each drop a vote for beginning again, whether you requested it.
Liquid sunshine is brochure copy. Accurate is soak: body reminded the city also weeps.
The patter keeps time after the clouds move on.
