rainy by Mary Frances Spencertrickle down
rolling crystal snails
glide beaded trails
along the glass
window
i write inside out
splattering constant
showers into widening
puddles
i shake
furry words flying
cant get the tears
to stop
so tonight
this idea
wet and cold
pours out
like dark water
and joins
the sea
of salty dreams
