the monsoons of May

1.

front porch midnight storm
electric eyeball wonder
eardrum rumble roll
rooftop raindrop beat
sensory extravaganza

(carlo, 5-2009)

2.

big heap rain
sounds like
like jet plane;
flash bulb - pop pop!
thunder beings
in mad rumba
shaking molecules
in all dimensions.

(neckbone, 5-09)

3.

man has dream
swims to ancient Greece;
can speak many languages
talks to dolphins and shore birds.

man meets Aphrodite
learns art of love;
wakes up in cold sweat.
outside -
the monsoons of May.

(ji bo, 5-09)
