Rain

Sky sagging, heaving sighs,

throat swollen in clenching,

Flooded gutters,

seeping outwards to the street,

a seeping wound,

choking up the broken limbs

and leaves of trees,

death looming in the boughs,

a silent death,

broken boughs, quickly fallen,

giving way to the wailing wind,

no resistance,

drifting downstream,

forgetten until the waters,

of another rain,

force the wreckage up from under,

over and over again.
