In the kingdom of the sun-shower
the same landscape’s never the same;
where wind roars like thunder
and everything is always changing colour,
rain happens overnight
and washes the face of the world;
the water runs in gullies and puddles,
sullied and clear,
and suddenly spring up frog places,
lush basking spaces that as suddenly disappear;
cannily disguised as leaves
are left thumbing by the fringe of the road,
the ex-wonders,
though the swans are as solid as ever,
breasting the current two by two,
cool denizens of the fiefdom of flux.
