It’s raining outside.
That cold, winter’s rain that seeps into
every fiber of your body. You long to
stand out in the wetness and
melt
into the gutter.
Swirling,
ebbing,
flowing
down into the sewer.
You carry paper boats, and leaves, and
tiny, jeweled pebbles with you
And you’re cold,
You’re numb
You have no toes, no arms,
no soul.
When you should laugh,
you cry bitter, hot tears of—
oneness.
You have actually melted into the
Universe—you’ve gone from
Substance to Time.
From Time to
Space.
You feel nothing; yet everything.
You are,
and again,
You are not.
And when the rain stops, what then?
You begin to lose the numbness—
the oneness.
You
dry
up into a brittle essence of fire. You
burn
with the pressure of other bodies—needs.
And—
you
wait
for the next
winter’s rain.
