like rainwater

...It looked out over the canyon below, what had once been a gorge made by rainwater      from the book The Elementals by Francesca Lia Block

now overgrown with wildflowers and eucalyptus trees
 and built up with houses.

A photo I took on the freeway,
when the sky suggested a storm.

The lights of cars and windows shone out of the darkness. Crickets chirped a mating song, creating a vibrating wall of sound,

breeze with a slightly citrusy scent, and fresh from the rain, came in and cooled my neck...from the book The Elementals by Francesca Lia Block

...I remembered the mugs from when I used to come over after school on rainy days
from the book The Elementals by Francesca Lia Block

The Elementals by Francesca Lia Block

to drink hot chocolate and eat cinnamon toast with Jeni.
I could still feel the slight burn of the spiced sugar on my tongue...from the book The Elementals by Francesca Lia Block 

This is a mug from my childhood.
I would drink hot chocolate from it.
It's the only one left in the set.
I think my great grandma bought it.
My childhood best friend really was named Jenny.

The mug says:

Start each day with a song in your heart.

Then I look up and out the half circle glass
above the curtains and the blinds,
 the rain looks like someone sprayed a mist
upon the window. The sky fades from bright sunshine to that lavender grey.
Yet still the breeze moves.
The leaves dancing
to whatever music
the sky brings them.
