Caillebotte, Paris Street; Rainy Day, 1877
Rain thins the shadows
on cobble stone streets
amid the canyons of Paris.
Umbrellaed pedestrians
Proustian figures
wander in every direction
heads bowed to watch
raindrops intercept their steps.
Immortal now
a moment stolen from the sky
and born again on canvas.
Rain thins the shadows
