Rain-catch (WC)

 



(Wendy Cabell, May 20, 2024, feast day of (above) Our Lady of the Well/Santa Maria del Pozzol, Our Lady of Zhyrovichy ("More honorable than the cherubim, And more glorious beyond compare than the seraphim, In virginity you bore God the Word; True Mother of God, we magnify you"), Saint Lydia of Philippi, Venerable Zabulon and Sosanna, parents of Saint Nino, Blessed Columba of Rieti.

Cells they humm

Like bowls set out

they seek the rain.


Vessels in no way rigid

but alive -- will surprise!
