Civil Rain

Civil Rain
David J Walker


I could see it from a distance
The stroke of midnight looming

When this OD Green façade would
Dissolve in a civilian rain

How ya-gonna-act
	Who will you be
What will you take home 
Besides pain

I am my own blurry memory as
The chemical color 
representations 
Fade within the frames 

Drinking up 
	      The familiar cup
Of civil rain

And a prayer for each passing day
