Is it night or morning? Is it raining

Is it night or morning? Is it raining
or is that something else? From in the house
I can't quite tell. The gray, low-sitting house
sets quietly as a thunderstorm rains

over the pasture. Yes, it must be rain
I'm hearing, also thunder. All the house
moves with the air around it, I am housed
by simple architectures. When it rains

it pours. I haven't watched the changing weather
without a calendar, I use the mud
to map the heavens up above. The water

in the earth is moved there by the weather
above the sphere. I use the dark, rich mud
to paint her with and wash the rest with water.
