the rain
by John IlotanI wanted to mop the floors today
but the rain wouldn't stop
and this iron handled bucket
is too heavy to carry
so full of dirty water
that it spills over the sides
pooling and puddling
seeping insidiously through the cracks
in the floorboards of my soul
so dark and grey
and stagnant

| Posted by Rommel Cruz on 06/14/03 at 02:06 PM yeah, it's really hard to clean one's soul. oftentimes, even when you have the mop at hand already, you just become so overwhelemed of the dirt that you have to clean up. |
