rain

The water came down
For the fourth day
In a row

Trees were shockingly green
Against the incandescent
White light of the
Emotional sky

My arms
Stretched under the rain
My neck turned slowly
In a circle
Like a turtle
I opened my eyes into the sky

I began to pour
Onto the concrete
Of the city
I flowed down the sidewalk
All the way down to the grocery store

My chest expanded
My fingers became extensions
Of the tree branches
I was outside
And outside was inside
me
