Rain drops spear into the puddle
Sending eddies rippling to its muddy shore.
My rain boots on the verge
Form glistening black monoliths.
I raise one boot high
And force it down into the center of the puddle.
Water rushes high soaking my jeans.
I lift my face skywards.
Rain tears run down my face.
My palms are turned upwards
In silent supplication.
