And, many things remind me of Clare and his sad path.

With scenes more sweet to charm,
And suns arrive that rise and set
Bright strangers to a storm:

A happy birthday today to Robert Frost. I did not remember he was born in San Francisco.

from A Line-Storm Song / by Robert Frost

And it seems like the time when after doubt
Our love came back amain.
Oh, come forth into the storm and rout
And be my love in the rain.

An extra one today, for the rain. The poem that carried me to Florida.

from Bus Stop / by Donald Justice

And the last bus
Comes letting dark
Umbrellas out —
Black flowers, black flowers.
