museums change in the rain
subdued skies subconsciously herding patrons
from solitary contemplation
toward comfort of gathering
to conversation reverberating with thunder
every whisper echoing against a glass case
that masks the cry of rain soaked birds
perched on sun-starved statues
together watching the human exhibit
glowing under soft honey lights
