Brian Groder Trio - R Train on the D Line (2016)



HOLDING RAIN 

Where a downspout would hang, a stoic chain 
landing three stories straight from bank house eaves, 
netting wind's docile drops and channeling 
miniature rivers crossing shingles 
a soggy distance from foundation's edge 
You are the chain perhaps, and I the rain. 
Catching hold, tempering from wild places 
a duet created running your links, 
hear our song through your negative spaces. 
Or do I wear you down, down; red rust rub 
of salty spray, mildew years, achy days 
till strength I break, falling heavy to mud, 
wind-water music turned sole lonesome thud.
