Rain Prayer Valentine

If the plants make up the letters
And the animals form the words
And the stark stars run on 
Like sentences what language
Is being overheard
Doesn't the rain sound a little 
Lithuanian to you as if
Mumbled by a French child
The gutturals and accent ague 
Words that are the clatter
They speak of water
You can write with
They paint the sea like love
With a gray burnish a sky
Of total relinquishment above
