prologue I
she just departed
the sweet rain descends
on the dirty streets asunder,
here at night, the blackness welcomes
the day's blanket of dirt
and remnants of the city's bluster,
it spoils the rain the instant it falls into its dark void,
I feel like I too could easily be assimilated
into these degenerate layers
of dank liquid and street grit
as monumental giants overhead,
tower above the both of us,
scattering a shower of random lights
shining down upon the city night,
gently exposing all of us lost souls
ambling along,
and still, the rain comes
intensifying the reflections
in the ebony shimmer on the asphalt
pooling in all of the uneven spaces,
we are all stuck here
on the dirt's ground level,
and she just departed
