A Piece of Yesterday
A Piece Of Yesterday
Petrichor calls, I'll savor lungfuls.
I'll not today, only wallow in nostalgia;
usual lone figure in dark overcoat,
homeward from a maddening boss,
humming to the rhythm of my steps.
Listen to the musicality of the drops
on my large rainbow-hued umbrella,
and watch transitory tributaries flow riverward.
I will, in a worship-gaze at the sky,
eyes shut,
relish darts of wet impingement
sating my thirst with cool blessings.
Luxuriate in air stripped clean of dust,
watch rivulets run down cocoyam leaves,
run, jump into puddles and make splashes,
reveling in the unity of sweat, mud and rain,
as with my kids; in their colorful raincoats,
and my dog, I relive a piece of yesterday!
