Impressionistic June, New York City

A few moments outside then
dense skies open
sudden rain hail water
overwhelming curbs & drains

And I (as usual) caught
the intersection of no canopies
no overhangs no shelter
swollen rivers at the corners

Ninth Avenue rainbow-arched
black umbrellas
black-covered legs

water moving
standstill traffic waiting

Finding a doorway
watching the unload I think of you
