Rain Dance

adorned
with feathers
and turquoise.
Cherrapunji
under my feet,
Mawsynram
to the east.
can you follow
a drop of rain
from the cloud
to the puddle?
or evaporate
dear virga?
sing to me
like...
submerged bubbles
oscillating.
turn me into
blackwater.
bleed me
like Kerala,
airborne spores
terrestrial algae.
a loud thunderclap
a flash of light
our dance
is over.
