Suddenly I Heard the Rain Coming ...
Suddenly I heard the rain coming.
Up, when I was painting the
balustrade, I heard it!
It threw blocks of silence ahead
of it,
onto the roofs.
Suddenly I heard the rain coming
like a heard of galloping gazelles
on the roofs.
In front of it was running the
silence
with whirlwinds of dirt.
Suddenly I heard the rain coming.
Therefore, I tore out my shirt
showing the glittering bulges
of my shoulders
towards the large city, calling
to it,
"Hurry up old man,
let's be caught
by a banner of coolness – and
then
further!"
