August 18, 1998
Grace
Northeastern Rain,
a heavy blessing
Standing on the corner half-drowned
You with grace
and a red plaid umbrella
noticing me in pity more than love
God bless you.
You with space
and I with next to nothing
opening our dryness on an otherwise cold day.
"To the stranger who shared her umbrella with me in Boston"
