Rain in Memphis





We ran from a sideways rain in Memphis,
three blocks from Beale but determined
to find blues. So odd to be happy, sliding
thickly in the middle of winsome rhythm,
knowing that tonight those words would wash
over and off of us, surely as the weather.

  1. Wow. I'm glad I found this blog (via Twitter). That poem was simple but awesome. I've lived in Atlanta for like ten years, and still haven't explored Memphis. Thanks for that little glimpse of something.
