Today Came Rain

Today came rain, through a clear blue sky.

Today I held a dragon.

This morning I had a conversation with my past self. She said she was disappointed, and I said, “That’s fine.”

This morning I sit on the balcony and lose track of time. If I’m not careful, I lose a whole year.

My sunshine, my starlight, gravity and the void –

The coffee is kept in the pickle jar; that’s all you must recall.

“The River” – most every city holds this entity.

Lately, the apartment has reverberated to the sound of growling.

Steal the space that lets you live.

“Fact:” we’re exposed to the word early on, but most people’s usage is a little…non-factual.
