The first rain


It was the first rain

Unlike anything before; cold, breezy,

a cumulonimbus in his heart.

He had her moistened memories.

His puffy walls not yet ready to collapse.

His windows and glasses covered with dew

made it blur, his profound view.

For again he got up to see his reflection

But the dewed mirror was crying.

Those lines of tears he saw flowing.

But his eyes, they were dry,

As dry as the last summer.

The arid summer had become his dream

For though devoid of mirrors, he saw her mirage.
