cold air hits her harshly
toes shiver as hair stands up
bringing a blanket closer to her self
the rain continues to pelt
and she continues
to indulge herself in words
that provide her home and warmth
she was a quiet one in tongue
but a loud one in hands and heart
she wrote endlessly about her pain
about how no one ever heard her speak
how no one ever saw her tongue dart out
she wrote it all to a man
who would never notice her words
or ever hear her cries
the cold air was harsh, and she had no blanket
rain pelted down mercilessly on her body
bare feet touching little oceans of waters
the sea bed being cemented and lined yellow
traffic lights jammed
no consistent lighting in sight
heart drowned in the flood
rain coming from the heart
overflowing through her eyes
she took a gulp
cloudy eyes drifting upwards to a window
a man pushing a woman against the glass
plumped fleshes on their faces
touching one another
how she wished to be the woman
all her words dried up in her throat
every thought became frozen in her mind
no pen in sight
no paper to crumple and catch her tears
the flood was overflowing in her heart
and yet it continued to rain
she shrugged off her thin jacket
and she shivered
hair stood up
toes trembled
no source of warmth
silently
she lunged herself forward
not noticing the eyes from above
and the scream that erupted behind the window
but instead
noticing the car
that was swerving recklessly
in her direction
the one that kept her stationary
was the one that pushed her
him.
