Rain
Groaning rain
Mumuring sky
Mumbling cloud
Raging thunder
Broken - straight - loud
Sullied roofs
Filthy earth
Preempt bathing
Fragile feet seeking haven
What about indigents
Tilling holes like ants
Whistling kettles - inane cups
Painting their bellies brown in tea
Scared snails remain doggo
Beneath their shells - until the land is wet
The rain will never know
The earth is thirsty
Just give birth to your lines
