In a Café of Rain



As I go past the brick wall

And enter through a heavy wooden door,

I smell a sudden burst of herb fragrance.

Basil, rosemary, lavender, peppermint.

Looking around, I notice herbs lighting the yard.

The fresh grapes climbing up the roof edges,

And the rain flowing like guitar strings

Hoist rain curtains.

The rain makes my ears crisp,

The rain tickles my nose.

Such is the herb fragrance on a rainy day

The rain that pampers the mouth

The rain that tickles the fingertip

Twanging one by one the guitar strings that flow

Along the edges of the roof

I play Romance.

My ears gradually become crisp.
