Down Came the Rain
I Bolster my confidence
Against
the torrential rain
with an ironic
BOLD
yellow
umbrella
under my arm.
It challenges
the black clouds:
You will not win this.
But storms are bullies.
Together the
growling thunder
sweeping wind
hard rain
Gang up and beat my poor umbrella
Down
The taught fabric whispers in my ears
as the wind tests its strength:
I’m Sorry.
I try to save it, but it has lost its will to fight.
Its wiry arms reach up
in surrender
absurdly
awkwardly
performing strange aerobatics.
I walk
my Dead umbrella by my side,
defying
the angry weather
that destroyed my friend.
"This will certify that the above work is completely original."
