It's Been Raining in Manila | Free verse
it finally
RAINED
in
MANILA
the thunderclaps were orchestral
the water splats — a van Gogh
on bus windows
against red tail lights
and people held their breaths
as the first drops of relief
hit their skins — a lover's kiss
at the end of a long day
the
KISS
SWEET
like
CHERRIES
long before you knew
how they tasted
LONG
like the
LINES I TRACE
with my
FINGERS
in the small of your back
WARM
like your
BREATH
on my
NECK
just before you wake up
just
before
we
do it
again
