How the rain goes.
The day the morning skies opened up,
rain came down in steady droplet form.
We know that feeling, the coming change,
or at least the animals do.
Around were deeper shades of green,
deep sepia trunks of trees, and veils of standing water.
There was no dry in the air, no dry in the heavens;
precipitation entered, and we are waiting for it to pass.
Bodies came wetted through,
going door to door so far away,
at any destination, at any time—covered.
It happens out of the clouds,
out of miracle,
out of nowhere,
out of thin air, out of life.
Miniature trails come sluiced as streams veined out,
their knotted design along sidewalks spread.
Now it is everywhere, on you dripping, on leaves, on outer matter, and on the ground.
It is soaking, seeping, as it follows gravity down—this life, new and old as one pooled.
Rain went sounding harder and harder,
pouring and pouring,
cats and dogs,
jazz crescendo, percussion,
high hat smashed, pit-pat pit-pat,
drumroll going, please,
brrrump brrrump,
to this bursting waterfall overflow,
busting through,
there was no escaping its element.
The day the morning skies opened up,
rain came down in steady droplet form,
and you were caught in between this transition of wet and dry,
not there, then alive,
then entrenched, then changed, just so.
How the rain goes.
