And the wind whips the unsteady fingers of rain like the swirls and whirls of ice-cream in cones - melting on my unsteady fingers, on a sun-stricken holiday belonging to a place in which I don't belong - until the rain and I meet in recognition and open fingers

Independence Day
And the wind whips the unsteady fingers of rain like the swirls and whirls of ice-cream in cones - melting on my unsteady fingers, on a sun-stricken holiday belonging to a place in which I don't belong - until the rain and I meet in recognition and open fingers
September 30th is Independence Day in Botswana. It's an arid place so people were thrilled that we were blessed with rain today.
