Colly Blue Rain

 
Pitted glass  
colly blue rain  
suffocates  
thick, viscous  
matter   
 
The stain
of yesterday's sorrow
imperfectly learned  
reinstates itself  
behind your windowless
 fortress  
    
Eyepiece fits
snug into your socket
black enameled kaleidoscope   
photographs turn   
in a fixed cyclic
 order  
 
Someone 
who once looked like you smiles  
out of place     
 
Hope
stolen, sullen barricaded below  
the slanted horizon  
stalled 
behind pitted glass  
when 
colly blue rain   
falls
