#35 (rain)

It's pouring down rain outside.
I type poems on a laptop with crumbs in the keys
Hoping to find sense of the world in my own words
which is stupid because it doesn't work but
I try anyway.
I want to go stand outside in the rain
in a white nightgown
          arms spread wide or
                                           staring at the ground

       I can't decide.

The sky is sad and so am I
and I can't cry so maybe
I'll let it cry for me
tears on my face from heavenly eyes
do angels cry?
do demons?

did the devil shed a tear when he fell from heaven's seat?
would I?

It's still raining outside. Still raining inside. I set out a bucket to catch the drips.
