Rain Come Down
#Rain Come Down
I'm waiting on the rain
to wash my streets
clean and new again
to summer-sweep the alleyways
of a cluttered mind
scattered with the jetsam of you
arms held wide
like church doors
a linen cathedral
our unnamed sanctum sanctorum
now made desolate and irradiated
uninhabitable, they say
but I still live here
on my knees
I tilt my face to an uncaring cloudless sky
mouth wide open
and I won't spill a drop.
-LFF
