an ever-blazing, startled sun
coupled with raging rain
complemented my indifferent mood.
watching the droplets descend from the sky
one, two, three, one, four, five, six, one
the wet particles avoided my ugly skin.
liquid tears penetrated my pores,
mocking the rain.
my eye sockets can hardly compare to the clouds, though
both are wrinkled, deceitful, and strong.
one, two, three, one, four, five, six, one
caustically falling,
one thousand accumulated
thus far

Regretting then forgetting,
                                                  pressing it away.
                                                           ­                    Repressing the depressing
Images, overplayed.
