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
