The promise of rain once againÂ
broken. I am a pouting child.
I want to walk in a downpour turning
my face up to feel the drops burstingÂ
on my hot eyelids. I want to watch
the creek rush tumbling recklessÂ
shoving rock and branch. I wantÂ
my hair wet and dripping overÂ
my face my skin singing the almostÂ
lost tunes of waterfalling abundanceÂ
once more and once more again.
I want I want I want.
