More DescriptionMelancholy and exuberance, refreshment and drowning. Admit you mostly only take notice of the rain when it's an annoyance. And its color - if you even consider it - then must be grey. But rain has many colors. It depends on how you look, and from where. Are you mostly inside? How about from the top of a tree, or a cloud, or the surface of the sea? Open up your magic box and free the butterflies. Don't let the python paralyze you, as he did the chickens. The deer? Maybe she had been barking at us.

But unlike the darker lairs that birthed most of volume one, these poems alight from the sky. I hope you enjoy.
