THE DARK DAY
12 lines✦
three-day-long rain from the east--an interminable talking, talkingof no consequence--patter, patter, patter.Hand in hand little windsblow the thin streams aslant.Warm. Distance cut off. Seclusion.A few passers-by, drawn in upon themselves,hurry from one place to another.Winds of the white poppy! there is no escape!--An interminable talking, talking,talking ... it has happened before.Backward, backward, backward.
