Awkward Positions for Rain
by Ru
(written 2003)

secret sigh in the eternal
slumber watch the rain
in most awkward positions
lightning dances for you
as the flowers grow
and the people go
and you pick your
toe and plan the
place where you will
be reborn anew to a
colorful light and
a place not slippery
and the water will
be greener and the leaves
will be bluer
and the rain will
fall where it pleases
and the puppy sighs
and rolls over and the
protector waits in the
rain to slumber at
last in a secret place
where the flowers
dance and the lightning
grows and the
        rain
                falls
                                        as it pleases.
