COLD SHOWER

The car, glinting
in the headlights of others
memory was a new day.

Now,in the garden
the frogs - crocodile heads
above the parapet - consider

my unblinking wide eyed stare.
Imagine, all around you
all you see is water meeting air...

Wishing - on the latest drought -
some other life - like
being soaking wet in a rainbow.
