Irradiations VII

Flickering of incessant rain On flashing pavements: Sudden scurry of umbrellas: Bending, recurved blossoms of the storm.

The winds came clanging and clattering From long white highroads whipping in ribbons up summits: They strew upon the city gusty wafts of appleblossom, And the rustling of innumerable translucent leaves.

Uneven tinkling, the lazy rain Dripping from the eaves.
