A stillness foreshadows Lingering, eerily calm Then a single, gentle thud Disrupts the silence. The leak springs, Grows into a flood Water runs over hot skin Caressing each freckle, each wrinkle. Eyes closed, Truly feeling every shiver of A feather's tracing down my spine. I seize the warm feeling Letting the streaming continue, Greedily succumbing to the water. My grip loosens upon the umbrella, A distant "pnk" on the pavement marks its fall. I am gone, the rain having Taken me over.
