*This rain is torrential,
an endless purge
from Heaven,
no warning of its coming,
no clouds breaking
over the horizon
it is sudden & we are
no longer people,
but fish swimming
in a vast ocean.
We wonder what we did
to deserve this
as roads twist into rivers
& we sink to our knees
praying for it to ease.
Days pass then weeks,
money floats along streams
& we shed clothes & phones,
forgetting we were once
professionals with important
roles, in this fishbowl
we glimpse each others soul.*
