Splitting Subjunctives

Let the rain fall all night

Sitting in puddles on the street

With your ponytail soaking.

Let the May showers come again

With the repetition of Nietzche.

 

You lie on your back in the cool wet mud

Spitting insults in a million different ways.

 

You let your golden hair fall

As the leaves might in Autumn

Continuously spitting with fury

Hiding your anguish behind those self centered eyes.

 

When you fall to your knees like the mortals to gods

You sing, quietly, the song your mother sang

After which, your hair back up, you appear from the shadows

Looking a bit worse for wear.

 

You let the rain shower down,

Ripe yellow hair turns almost brown at the roots

And as you tear off the drenched silk dress

You find you might like yourself better that way.
