WHERE THE RAIN IS

Standing on the street corner

with black smeared & eyes

brimed with loss...

Running through the vacant

lot with pearls of sunlight dripping

down...

The shimmer turns the day to night -

Only for a moment -

Only for this woman -

Only for a heartbeat is she lost as she craves.

But where is the outburst that the sky should

be bringing?

Where is the thunder to stifle this singing?

Where is the proof? The cure for this pain?

Why aren't her tears being washed by the rain?

She runs on & on -

'Til the sunlight is gone -

& alone in the dark -

She's awash in her pain.
