A Deluge Coming

"a deluge coming" 						7/20/11

there i stood,


….out in the rain

 umbrella full of holes
perforated like a shower drain

… the rain..
.  .  .    .     .      
.    .    .     .    
.    . . .   .     .   
. .  . .
. .  . .
.  . .   .     .     

…dripping down my face

why bother, i would say

……………………………………

so i stood


while droplets glazed my face

,"where are you?" 

i would say
as i slowly turned to clay
    
.       .    .and felt the putty in my throat
begin to weigh



as the moisture stayed

a stillness  parged my voice

there is a deluge coming,
i would say ………………….

,"where are you?" 
just come . . . . .

be my sun
