Rain

The sound of a small bell ringing.

The calm after a heavy rain.

The scent of freshly picked tomatoes.

Riding a bike at night, on your way home.

That first taste of beer.

And newspapers, in the morning.

A newly scrubbed wooden floor.

Fresh bed linen.

Cigar boxes.

Wrapping paper, the thin, noisy kind.

Tulips, squeeking.

Gasoline vapours.

The cool in the shadow of a vault.

A deep breath, close to the sea.

And coffee, yes, coffee.
