Rain in the Night It rains in the night on the old roofs and the wet streets on the black hills and on the temples in the dead cities In the dark I hear the ancestral music of the rain its ancient footfall its dissolving voice More rapid than the dreams of men the rain makes roads through the air makes trails through the dust longer than the footstep of men. Tomorrow we will die die twice over Once as individuals a second time as a species and between the bolts of lightning and the white seeds scattered through the shadows there’s time for a complete examination of conscience time to tell the human story It rains It will rain in the night but on the wet streets and black hills there will be no one to hear rain fall |
