The Feel of Rain

lights coming on papa being dragged from me mamma and ahava crying where is daniel everyone cries and so now do i because they are frightened now so am i the train, why are we here mamma are we going on a trip yes sara we are going on a trip where to mamma i don't know honey please hush the darkness and light filter through the cracks like ghostly fingers they change shape incessantly the smell a sweet scent the sound of the tracks driving us mad still the crying i am quiet now mamma shakes ahava cries daniel dies the dogs and the screaming we to the left we go with mamma under a pretty hedge clinging as we round the corner to take a shower and get cleaned up oh the water will feel so nice off to the shower the doors close the crying…the crying why is everyone crying to take a shower oh how lovely the water shall be where is the water i feel the rain the smell of wheat
