Arrival

The wind,
the trees,
the graying thunder-studded skies
greet us,
sitting close together on a creaky bench.
Beneath the eves we huddle
as big, cold drops plop
before our eyes.

Like a cat I sniff the cooling air,
reach out to catch a few cold drops
in the warm of my hand:

And I am comforted, sitting with you,
with the storm.
