in a rainstorm the sky.

it is grey. it is dull

and looks down upon you

with lively eyes.

come to me,

it says,

come to me and play

in my rain

in my puddles

in the dripping wet leaves.

but you say no,

say, i cannot,

say, i shouldn’t.

in that dripping morning

you begged me to play.

lure me outside with your

cold tentacles.

say screw it

say let’s do it

say we jump in the puddles

and splash in the rain

and look to the sky

with our mouths wide open.

hoping to catch a drink.

say we forget about tomorrow.

and we decide to have fun.

say we leap and bound across the

sky mirrored pavement

and forget the lost feeling

in our toes

say we forget our worries.

even if just for a moment.
