Streaming Down Rain . . .


Faster and faster I walk
stealing a glance as I pass
the cold dark alley
piled high garbage
sat on by cats
with watchful night eyes.

Thinking doubt soaked thoughts
race through my mind
as I turn and make my way
toward 5th and Main,
stepping over side walk cracks
and side stepping deep puddles
with floating bits of refuse,

Silently I pause waiting
for the traffic light to change,
in a split second, violent gale winds
send spinning my umbrella
dancing down the street.


Rain soaked, barely breathing,
startled by my reflection,
the intimate connection
with silenced white face
dressed in expensive
store dressings,
passing unsettled.


Luminously livid skies,
gives way to a foggy night,
droplets shine
like silver beads blooming
under lit lamp posts,

A voice whispers my name,
drowns out the roar
of my heart pounding,
doubts departing
in the lovers embrace.
