The rain played along

The rain was a choir.

I used to dance with it.

Now I run from apointments to my car, cursing myself for forgetting a rain coat. 

 

The rain smelled of summer honeysuckle

I used to taste the treats. 

Now I pretend I got a bubble of sweetness when the 8-year-old asks hopefully. 

 

The rain talked to me 

but I could only listen woefully.

 

A tortured time

A sleepless night

A sad, sad song

the rain played along.
