yesterday it rained
not from clouds or sky
but from frozen branches
and telephone wires

and i walked
under the melting drops
and cared for a twisted ankle
and recorded auditions
and read for classes

and i felt so
accomplished.

and today i read for myself
and relaxed the day away with my spouse
and noticed the ankle not doing too well
and rehearsed for a different class
and waited to poem my poetry
and both sky and ground
were clear
and dry

and i still
can feel
accomplished.
