Subject: Wishing for Rain

I've been wishing for rain,
wanting the sky to fall bit by bit, drop by drop.
There's just too much weight
pressing down,
suspended over me,
and the collapse will come,
if I'm lucky.

Little bitty tears will collect in oceans -
only miniature,
and I wont sink when I splash around.
I'll walk on the surface,
with a little more confidence,
a little more faith.

Seeping into street cracks,
it will fill all the holes,
lifting up the settled dust,
oil,
and most toxic - thoughts -
and carry it all away.

The weight has broken to bits,
at last,
and I can handle bits.
Winding away they take them -
the thoughts I regretted thinking,
even if only thought for an instant -
the dreams where I did everything bad,
and never felt guilty enough -
everything I could not carry -
and they float away in little rivulets,
branching off of a single puddle,
each sin belonging to its own river.

The road is clean and empty,
ready to be filled with life again.
