The Rain

BY ROBERT CREELEY


All night the sound had   
come back again,
and again falls
this quiet, persistent rain.
What am I to myself
that must be remembered,   
insisted upon
so often? Is it
that never the ease,   
even the hardness,   
of rain falling
will have for me
something other than this,   
something not so insistent—
am I to be locked in this
final uneasiness.
Love, if you love me,   
lie next to me.
Be for me, like rain,   
the getting out
of the tiredness, the fatuousness, the semi-
lust of intentional indifference.
Be wet
with a decent happiness.

The Rain

All night the sound had   
come back again,
and again falls
this quiet, persistent rain.

What am I to myself
that must be remembered,   
insisted upon
so often? Is it

that never the ease,   
even the hardness,   
of rain falling
will have for me

something other than this,   
something not so insistent—
am I to be locked in this
final uneasiness.

Love, if you love me,   
lie next to me.
Be for me, like rain,   
the getting out

of the tiredness, the fatuousness, the semi-
lust of intentional indifference.
Be wet
with a decent happiness.

One of my students, Linx, started this awesome photography company, Liminal Productions.  She takes great photos of the Montreal club scene that differ from the typical D & D (drunks and duckfaces) stuff you see.

I just tried to think of interesting, stylish actresses, and Selma Blair popped into my head.

For those Millenials, this was how we did it.  Those polaroids had about a dozen shots, and even if you posed perfectly, the quality was about as good as an Instagram app today.  Think about this next time you don’t feel spoiled.  Incidentally, this film is a classic.
