Like A River After Rain
I felt it rising out of the corner of my eye
The plates stared at me
As if asking to be thrown
Anger seethed through open pores
Horns, sirens, noises agitated
Like the edges of Satan’s garb
Anger, tears
Always found their way back to me
Back to where the stars were blank
And our moon hollow
Frustration rose like a river after rain
If only the thick river knew my name
