pots-and-pans

Dark

She stands by a window

Rain, rain, rain dripping down the glass

It blurs her vision

It blurs her senses 

 

He sits against a graffiti-covered wall

Rain, rain, rain falling into his lap

And into his hair

And into his eyes

 

She walks down an alley

Bag slung over her shoulder

Hair swept to one side

Shoes clicking on the pavement 

 

He walks through the darkness

Eyes open

Heart beating

But is it?

 

The bag drops

The shoes stop

The hair falls around her face

It isn’t. It isn’t.
