The Construction

My heart 
is my alphabet,
beating the letters out
through the pores of my skin.

I gather them
in my hands.

I mold the words.

And they pour down on the sheets,
like eager autumn rain.

Hi Jerry, Thanks for your comment! I appreciate it. To me it's like autumn rain, here it rains more often than in spring. And it's fresh and clean too! :) Best, Gry
