this morning,
as the clouds gathered
and dispersed
and the rain pelted us
turned the air gray
I watched the sky move past us,
leave us standing still
running in the rain.
and I flew in it
lifted up off my seat
carried on the wind
somersaulted in the bleakness
over the hollow
hardened earth
bursting with water
and wonder
and bewilderment.
and then I was lowered down again
unceremoniously dropped into my chair
rolled down the road
and I couldn't see five feet ahead.
so I watched the water run down the windows
collect in pools
the children will play in this afternoon
splash the sides of buildings
and walkways
and lawns
with their joy
that they can manufacture
from our sadness.
