Sadder Than Anything
An umbrella moves
through the rain
and in between each drop
emptiness
Morning’s injured light
far from the sun
trips over rooftops
into the wind’s mouth
passing over my eyes
I hear footsteps
alone on the sidewalk
alone in the rain
only to stop and wait
for a dream or a green light
From the sidelines
a burly boom
of far-off thunder
Time passes even darker
Raindrops tangle in my hair
raindrops sadder than anything
Neruda has written
