Rainwater rinses the trees and rooves Draws a curtain around the views Shuttering the attention to the sound of gushing guttering Waterfall stairs Dripping leaves Bare feet sinking into slippery grass We walk past each other, heads bowed behind umbrellas The clouds of the last few days drifting, taking my somber mood with them A […]
