I am standing in the rain tonight

By May Thomson

The wind, making itself manifest,

Is possessing the vertical sheets of night—

Silver, chiffon.

Flour-fine and unbiting,

Glittering my arms with soft, pale vermillion,

The rain dresses me in a cool, satin shirt. 

‘I am dressed just like the wind,’ I think. 

And the wind, in its blouse, stays close at my back. 

I take a drag of soft, black evening 

And watch the motion of invisible things.
