Spring Rain - draft two

dawn rain washes the dust off the town
so Chinese builders play cards inside
the building they are building

blue metal mountain is rinsed
and a great wall of handmade bricks
leans against the wind

the town's heat has been turned off
admin officers huddle over heaters
as they plan the next semester

a lone student walks in the rain
her new umbrella as yellow as the sun
before the dark grey clouds
