Let's just dance in the rain,
Throwing worries in the drain,
Watching along with the wind,
Framing moments from behind,
Feeling alive one more time,
Glowing like the sunshine,

So forget everything now,

And flip your hair in the air,
Act like you don't care,
Let the people do their glare,
Raindrop falling like a tear,
But you no longer are aware,
Of people's stare or care

Cause you're doing the dance in the rain...

my sister-in-law
who I know
by face and name
asked me to share happy memories
to comfort
her children

she doesn't know
that I don't have
memories
good or bad

waiting at my mother's
before the funeral
I suggested
that we get out photo albums
to pass the time
and find a memory

she couldn't be bothered
she was afraid
we would take the photos

maybe she doesn't have
memories either

I do have
plenty of nightmares
maybe remembering
is easier
when you sleep.
