Los Angeles Rain
by Armando Ortiz
Standing under the cover of night
watching the rain clouds paint
Downtown L.A. with Dodger grey
Palm trees sway goodbye to another day
as electric ensembles purify the streets
under the shimmering incandescent lights,
Wheels swish through water and disappear from sight
the rhythm of the acoustic ensemble continues
liquid cymbals splashing throughout the night,
Someone steps outside their tiny room and with all their might
remember their first winter storm in L.A.
and begin to play their trumpet to clear skies nigh.
