Sunshine through the squall
rainbow arching to the west –
pot of tea, steeping.

Feral cat sleeping
in her bed outside the door –
steam rises from trees.

I’ll see you
in each color
of the rainbow
inside a bubble
foaming
on the sea.
.
I’ll find you
on the wing
of a hummingbird
or at the bottom
of a spot
of tea.
.
I’ll meet you
in the middle
of an Oreo
somewhere
on the edges
of a rhyme.
.
I’ll love you
at the tip
of the hour hand
resting
on the backside
of time.

Shower from the east,
magic sunshine in the west
rainbow up her sleeve.

She would sate his fevered brow
with the coolness
of a gauzy cloud
until it rained
upon the mountains
filling streams
with tall white water
rushing eager to the sea.
.
And he would lift her
to the shore
and lay her down
on seaweed
where together
they would turn to mist,
and next time that it rained
the sky
would wear a double bow.

Fresh bundle of rain
sweeps in sideways on the wind
tied up in a bow.

A little weird, but maybe this will resonate on an intuitive level.
(From 1995, and related to previous poem.)

In the red room
we awoke
from spectral dreams.
.
In the orange room
we opened up
the blinds.
.
In the yellow room
we saw
past the horizon.
.
In the green room
we balanced
on our toes.
.
In the blue room
we flew
out the window.
.
In the indigo room
we landed
on the sun.
.
In the violet room
we slept
in mother-of-pearl.
.
In the red room
we awoke
from spectral dreams.
