sitting alone as rain falls…
looking out windows…
smeared by teardrops from the sky…

night’s darkened hours…
lights on utility trucks blink on and off…
puddles are gathering…

thinking of the last time we made love…
shadows cast upon walls…
it rained that night too…

and winds howl…
as they have before…
for they shall howl again…

in that deep night…
when we made love…
what a marvelous storm…

sitting alone as rain falls…
looking out windows…
smeared by teardrops from the sky…

i’ve missed the rain…
