dusk arising

catching raindrops

 

catching raindrops to the midday bar
drinking friends talk about their cars
turned around, so surprised to see
her little brother right next to me

say fellah what you doing in this town
we talk computer as the rain comes down
and how\'s your sister, how she doing these days
\"oh she\'s married now\" --- and i\'m in a haze

rain comes down at the bar room door
still he\'s talking but i can hear no more
every \'last night\' i\'d been dreaming of her
lovers on heat in mid summer splendor

the barrooms buzzin, i\'m shaking in my shoes
hey little brother, that\'s really good news
\"she must be really happy, i wish her well\"
a shakey reply, from a deepening hell
