it rained the day you died
did you know?
teardrops on the glass
raindrops on our faces
i wanted to push your bed into the garden
cool refreshing gentle fall on your hot hot parched skin
sweet rain in your dry dry mouth
and then the sky cleared
and the sun set

Your poetry is heartbreaking. So articulate. I know that you are a stranger but what you have gone through has really moved and influenced me. Odd huh?
Not odd at all, cos I feel the same way.
