The Rain Falls by llaykorn: 6:08pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
The rain falls as infinite pearls, Turning hair into tapeworms. The sky flashes; a silent zoetrope, And the air roars. Feet squelch on malevolent paving stones, boiling cold. Toes like slugs in old socks grow uncomfortably numb. Spectacles become blindfolds. Birds hide, Spiders hide, And cats and dogs hide from the downpour. Soggy-limbed people run like idiots. The sky flashes, an infinite camera, Turning people into silent zoetropes, Turning streets into silent zoetropes, And the air roars. Beautiful marbles thrown from an endless grey canvas, Smash upon the floor; Angry little dancers, Exploding, assimilating, Then slipping down the cracks. Children laugh, In the relentless, magnificent, benevolent rain. 5 Likes 1 Share |
