Rain painted that window

With blurry filthy water

Thunder slashing sunlight

into splinters of iced sharp knives


It’s meant to be abrupting

Following a peaceful, balmy night


Shatter the vitalizing umbrella

wound the adamant innocent

Not a soul’s willing to be poured

with countless frozen, thrilling tears


It’s meant to be desperate

After that peaceful, balmy night


Neither the clouds want it

But can’t brace anymore

With pools of heavy sewage

accumulated in its heart
