today
the rain  
chose
to wash away
the poems
i'd scribed
on the red  
scorched earth
 
is it a blessing?
 dreams
washed away?
 
the blue skies
had betrayed
my faith
in them
keeping up
the scorch
 
red is the color
i love
red is the color
i bleed
 
blue is  
what was accepted
grey  
was never expected
 
now  
 
 
see the streams
of  red
washing away  
my poems
dragging them  
along the tracks
smashing them
on boulders
dropping them off  
the cliffs
 
where
 
you see a waterfall
i see words
battered, scattered
flung into the air
never to reunite
ever again  
 
satisfied?
dear rain?
 
forgot to mention
there is a cave
way below the ground
where the screams that were my poems
still echo
