Raining Glory by Neall Calvert

Poem title: Raining Glory Poet name: Neall Calvert Poem: Rain spattering the tin trailer roof overhead falls on my soul, taps on my door, says May I drop in on you, get to know you? Wet you with transparent wisdom? Wash something clear? Before I knocked, I journeyed that heaven you thirst after in the eyes of strangers. Bloom the desert spaces of your mind —in me. End of poem.
