The undoubtedly esoteric title referring to Elmore James's immortal "The Sky Is Crying"




Not the Blues Song

This the month when rain

In one unpredictable moment

Can come not from the clouds

But the other side of the sun,

Invisible and not quite voluble,

Sensed first only by its scent;

And now the soft sibilance,

Slight sighing in the leaves,

As though some secret part

Of sky is gently crying

Behind a veil of light.
