I saw you sitting underneath
the train stop awning, curled up
like a comma, trying to punctuate
the end of this already miserable day
As the rain dropped like pellets
from spilled bird seed
covering your surroundings in
reflections of what you can't see
Water splashes from the passing tires
in search of a new refuge
akin to your unfurling gaze
now staring back at mine
