Just As Rain
Just as rain
numbs into nothing
with the passage of time,
after the first drops have fallen
and made their impression,
[What is a little more water,
when you're already wet?]
my heart stopped jumping
at each chronological backfire
of my mind
and simply beats twice;
once for each moment
gone missing.
[But then, when
- and if -
am I living?]
Just as droplets
gradually become puddles,
that fall into streams
and pour into lakes,
we assume
the sustenance to keep noticing
the retrospection which falls
from the hazy grey veils
congregated in the sky.
[And we finally get the chance
to love
what was once before our eyes.]
