This Kukur Tihar. Celebrating Wh**ey and Brownie. This year and every year. Forever.
When it rains.
It's raining
cold droplets on bare skin, raining
scary waters on heart
I hear unseen lightning.
Coming home. You at the gate
watching, wet, waiting:
in spring's chilly waters,
winter's freezing droplets,
summer waters.
I say, you're silly, as you pad across
clean floor and rugs
and wipe you clean with a towel
red golden wet hair on cloth
musky smell of a drying dog
You are in the rain again Alone
looking for me to come to you I know.
I can't find you and you don't know how to come back
A lump in throat, I wait to hear of you
It's raining
After today's heat, rain will give you water to drink
I look for you, heart empty
you look for me, somewhere
in the rain
I will again sleep restlessly tonight
mind drowning, rain filled.
