A Deluge Coming
"a deluge coming" 7/20/11
there i stood,
….out in the rain
umbrella full of holes
perforated like a shower drain
… the rain..
. . . . .
. . . .
. . . . . .
. . . .
. . . .
. . . . .
…dripping down my face
why bother, i would say
……………………………………
so i stood
while droplets glazed my face
,"where are you?"
i would say
as i slowly turned to clay
. . .and felt the putty in my throat
begin to weigh
as the moisture stayed
a stillness parged my voice
there is a deluge coming,
i would say ………………….
,"where are you?"
just come . . . . .
be my sun
