Why does rain remind people of me?
by Kalikala SmithI have hair like straw,
and eyes as wild as the ocean,
but all people ever see,
is the rain all around me.
I am thunderstorms,
and lightening,
and hard pounding rain,
on thin attic roofs.
I am flooded stream banks,
and run-off,
and swamps turned lakes,
on summer nights cooling off. 07/09/2004 Author's Note: got a phone call from a friend... there was a thunderstorm. there's always a thunderstorm when he calls...
