Rainy City
Just raindrops
falling,
falling into wetness
making
waterways
of roads and streets
and it’s such a pretty scene.
I try to focus on it
try to see the calming colours
but the drizzly, misty rain
is shrouding me
in a fog of fear.
I take the deep breaths
I need
to forestall the rising
panic
though it’s such a pretty scene
with the raindrops falling
like silvery teardrops
from glassy eyes,
teardrops
which will run their course
and splatter
like rain
then disappear
into wetness
and become invisible
as if by magic.
