Rain

warm dark rain descends from above hitting the ground
in rapid succession trying to endear itself into the fertile soil;
beside this battle I sit with a soldier's gaze, determining which
side might need me the most, noticing not the felines;
closing the door on the war, I return to the comforts of divorce,
surveying my possessions as if admiring victorious battles;
somewhere in the world I imagine two are trying while
just as easily I imagine that two might be crying and why we
must pay such a heavy price for loss...  innocence lost prematurely,
not hating life as much as we end up hating ourselves for
believing that believing would keep us all free and clear.
