December Rain

[Goat]

december rain behind glass
is comforting to know
the pitter patter of cat paws
echoing milliseconds of eternity

pittter

a breeze seeps in entrusively
an enemy soldier crossing foreign ground
steal my heat numbing the little pigs
who never went to market

pitter

the washing machine runs
the rinse cylce - a step of many
readying 'clothes' for this cosmic dryer
we call life

patter

a massive decrescendo and the rain lets up
almost - tapping arpegios into my car
this freestyle soloist
soothes my soul

pitter
pitter
patter
