With small colonies Of rain water When brushed form together And make a fountain When hung from the neck On wooden coat racks Wobbling from the storm Outiside, compiling a lake On the white **** rug Hopefully your aunt doesn't mind The newfound guests of water And mud And myself, quiet as this farmhouse And the land it shepherds Let the raincoats stack One on top of the other And let the puddle grow into A sea of collective belonging Because behind these walls And a way from the thunder Our family can stay soggy Together, despite being A funeral for uncle earl We're just droplets.
