RainLove.

I walk past bark
sheeted in lichen.
Above me,
green dappled yellow leaves
droop with the rain.
A line of cement,
cold, slick, wet,
beneath my feet.

I stop
stand
breath in humidity.
And fall in love
with precipitation.

  1. Really clever, JB. Like the line falling in love with precipitation. Good job.
