Rain Film

Topics: classic

On the night of the rains,     water was oozing out from     the sky's swollen stitches,     a rash developed across     the meaning of the heavens.     The wooden floors of my attic place     strove for a deeper tone,     a hoarse calling     grew louder as I paced     trying to see rain.     I followed the gravity of the treasure hunt     where each bounce meant a slap     across a table top of tension,     where the window basted winter black rain     and silence paid another call.     I am as much as this water flower, rain.     I am as impressionable as the city that stops for rain.     And I lack the same substance that dooms water to be     a soft pillow feather; excepting this,     I may still shatter this thing, March routine existence     by dabbling in destruction.
