A Village Rainy Day
Standing by the window as it rains
Drenching the ground and filling the drains
Croacking frogs in adjacent plains
Scuttling pupils in muddy grey pants
My widow neighbour with her little kid
Walking down along the gravel road
A plastic bag covering her head
Smiling at me but she looked sad
The boy speeding with a green wheelbarrow
Rushing for the bridge before it overflow
The girl standing akimbo nextdoor
As if a ritual to make it rain more
They where cuddling as they go
My uncle the other I guess was a whore
These two where elusive as a riddle
Why when raining they go for the jungle
