Precipitation
the breeze blows through the windows
ruffling the curtains
carrying the scent of rain
like parched, cracked earth
my soul needs a deluge
to quench its thirst and
wash it clean of all that has sullied it
lightning cracks
charging the air
the thunder rumbles in my bones
no storm
has the power to free my soul
of the filth which inhabits it
it rains in vain
I doubt even death
holds a release
