The Rainbird Curtain
(Two Years in Tallahassee)

early spring, severe 
thunder showers wash 
the windows gray, color 
of my grandmother's good
	     tablecloth 
where condensation 
left it's halo whenever 
someone lifted a glass. 
windowpane slick sound:
outside, a mockingbird leaves 
a one-legged charcoal 
rubbing of itself, 
	puffed and preened 
against uncertainty: 
		   it knows: 
any moment the rain might rub 
it clean before the bird 
           takes wing. 
in this city, things run out: 
watercolors in hurricanes, 
smudge of pigments 
where friends once lived, 
old tablecloths flag relentless 
rains down. 
	gray days in bed: cigarettes
with shaded newsprint 
dull narcotic,
orange bottles, embers scattered 
on the floor, slow survival poisons 
pulling smoke quartz
from still lungs.
       no bird on the rain curtain
no bird in the rain
