Handed the Rain

given to look into    the bowl of sky for it to fill with future see it turned upside down on the grass see the ladle pass hear the god underneath calling his inside the heavenly vault    eternal how that bump reminds me    how we saw it once from the underside of Nut    a mother's belly see dissolve against her vast ground the drowned cloud of black lives    the solution's population of rain crowding the city in the belly see it now as the sea extended the drowned city     lit     in this sky see our sky the bone clouds casting African tomorrows   only an arm    black balletic cloud extends itself dark nimbic invertebrate squall I am handed rain by a portuguese man-o-war These are new skies once we absorb the seas' solution as the bodies lost the sting fire of lightning    flesh the water body air we drown together in our living to drink from this bone
