like cats, do houseplants
watch intently through the glass
at the unfelt rain?

rainy day ode

laura laura laur
a you are sweeter than the
dark lindt chocolate bar

i bought and i put
in my fridge in case
you came to visit

some rainy old night
dying to kiss me amid
the heaps unsorted

of itinerant
detritus scattered widely
but evenly round

the jolly chambers
of my humble little home
la casa cantor

in case and in case
your imperial teeth deigned
to spare my fingers

their bout with danger
in the amphitheatre
of your pearly jaws

placating the beast's nips
with chocolatey bites of well
won liberty
