Rains

allow me 

to drink in 

your very being

through you

i taste the monsoons,

the wet earth, 

life-giving. 

swaddled in snow
a world so white
a transformation so dramatic
overnight
it didn't make a sound 

wait

throw things around

raise your voice 

shout and scream

isn't that what

we all want to do 

from time to time

hold back 

for a moment or two

and it will pass

a small victory
every time.
