This rain. / The blues gone gray / and yellow
New York has been churlishly soggy and cold and dark the whole weekend. Leading, to quote a witty friend, to "an excess of lassitude".
April ends in showers.
Onward to May. May it be everything you need it to be.

This rain.
The blues gone gray
and yellow
a terrible amber.
In the cold streets
your warm body.
In whatever room
your warm body.
Among all the people
your absence.
The people who are always
not you.
— from Rain by Jack Gilbert
