about

I originally wrote this song on a bowed psaltry that I gave to my boyfriend at the time, when I was 25!

Rainman’s Daughter
By Kathleen Dunbar

Sweet water
Melting air
Quicksilver laughter from
The Rainman’s lair
Who could think to keep thee
Raincolored – dreaming
Slip away with slim hands
Vanishing
Seeming to – laugh . . .

With your dark eyes glimmering
Lingering
O-mouth wet
Vermillion – singing . . .

Faintily – fading
To a wraithe – to a wisp
The Rainman’s daughter
Has dissolved in mist . . .

about

Kathleen Dunbar San Francisco, California
