the rain comes in waves
soaks me up to my waist
and sweeps at my feet
in its gripping presence
I stand
before a torrential downpour
begging to be spared
but the only answer I get
is a deluge
mowing past my building
drenching everything in its
Tre, I hope you and Jernee are happy in your new home, despite the power-cuts and the heavy rain! 🙂
