(mirror structure poem)

here we are in the rain
the sky doesn’t sing old songs
what we live in comes fresh
another turn of a rock, a blink
it takes time to invent a language

it takes time to invent a language
and i’m sure we don’t know what i mean
how they fit like a blanket, some old songs
as we blink back the tears that land like rocks
i wonder if this isn’t rain at all
