Skin and Water

by @adhesive

Rain befalls the afternoon like a heavy blanket A blanket under which I rest Legs crossed and crossed and crossed Neck curved as a comma, The smallest body you have seen Nothing is mine My arms, my hands, my head The water that falls Lands on nothing that belongs Nothing is ours The sky, the ground, the air Skin becomes wet Skin and water with no owner
