I Looked Out At the Rain
It rained today,
Dark pellets of the heaven's tears
Soaking up the sounds of the earth
Changing them
The trees were felled
Big and old, bent to the will of the water
The cracked sounds of expendability
Following them
Floods wiped away all evidence of activity
Leaving the earth shifted and soaked
Feet ferrying bodies to shelter
Shielding them
It made me sad
This washing away of things I know
The clouds grey as though with sorrow
Hurting them
