water

the weatherman calls
for heavy rains and dark clouds.
does he read my mind?

the thick gray dour sky.
the soft strafing of cold rain.
slow death of summer.

the mourning and knight.
are one and the very same.
hitching hopes on dreams.

the long march forward.
horizon never ending.
hamster wheel spinning.

cracked watering can.
the color of sky and rain.
empty vessel dry.

gray ribbons of loss.
tin cans racing to dead end.
faster to your death.
