Rain on windows
Is seeing something...
Hearing something...
Knowing it has happened...
But it doesn't touch you.
So how can you feel it?
Should you feel it
streak down your face?
Or is that just a hallucination?
Something you want to feel, but shouldn't?
For it is not a thing you want to be a part of.
But still, it's one you really just want
To trade, that is.
So they might take your place
In the chrysalism of detachment.
Chrysalism: the amniotic tranquility of being inside during a thunderstorm.
