they prayed for rain (so tired so drained)
they wanted relief crops and to relive
through their supporting bulbous god
the rains came and my body tightened with itch
the chored limbs ached
flints of pain ticked behind the eyes
but there was so much rain and there was flooding
cause there were no trees to root everything together
no absorption
but much concrete to dictate the fast flow
and then it rained like blood and people freaked
(it was only desert pigment or algae) and then it rained fish
but there was too much to harvest pickle and eat
and spoil brought stench and plenty of flies
and then it rained frogs that weren't able to polish off the flies
cause they'd splattered with the impact
and then...
the praying stopped and the people plugged up their senses
and retreated indoors all puffed
and angry and pathetic
and i went out for a walk
solitary except for the thriving carrion
