24 hours of rain

...I am sister to the rain;
  Fey and sudden and unholy,
Petulant at the windowpane,
  Quickly lost, remembered slowly.

I have lived with shades, a shade;
  I am hung with graveyard flowers.
Let me be tonight arrayed
  In the silver of the showers...

Dorothy Parker

  1. I love that line... "I am hung with graveyard flowers." It's sort of hopeful and hopeless all at once.
