after rain clouds
the drop that falls in
and carries all of what it is
made of all of what it has
passed through all of its film
like projections slipping from
its surface like a face
backing away from a mirror.
maybe receiving it means leaving
off the umbrella so that
its falling will fall
on skin on fingers on cheek on tongue
and teeth and be soon
enough what it once was:
blood then air then bird
a fever'd ululation
a shard of ice/dust coming up
to the motion and rubbing
like frenzy is its entirety
tell me who without
umbrellas can help but be,
irrevocably, changed?
