sibilant sizzle & staccato static

Sitting here
with my window
open,

I hear
rare rain
begin to
gently
fall.

I listen,
absorbed by its
sibilant sizzle
&
staccato static.

A cool night
made of wet scarecrows
&
creaking boards
under a moon
of lavender levity.

Why am I inside
with this wonder
at my door?

I get up & take my umbrella
for an ambling ramble down by
the drop-dappled pond.
