The rain fell
like sorrow.
The rain fell
like loss.
It fell about
the house
shattered
like glass.
It was as if
the world wept
& eternity
wept too.
Everything
wept.
All things
wept
except
I
who knowing
there were no tears
that I could cry
to bring you back
to ease
the agony of your absence...
I abandoned
the house
lashed now
by the rain
blinded
by the rain.
I cried out
your name
&
cried.
