to you...remember tomorrow--


i run to meet the future
and win the race against the Clouds.
flash.
crash.
the Storm chases, not far behind
wild wind swirls above

drip.
drip drop.
drop drip drop.
then comes the downpour.

flood.
still standing
beneath Sky's waterfall--
zeus's Wall of tears--
You come from the distance
and we run--yes,
run.

splash.
slosh.
from the clouds
from the pools covering our feet
clap.
thunder gives its warning--
run.

creak.
the door welcomes us inside
we welcome warmth
sop.

laugh.
smiling at ourselves
wring out your hair.
we'll wrap in dry towels, then
dress in fresh clothes and
drape ourselves in warm fleece.
sigh.

pip.
pip pop.
pop pip pop.
fire at will--
then the popcorn is ready.

hot chocolate.
the warm liquid rushes
pours down our throats.
thinking.
lean back
curl.
feel the safety of the fleece, and
sleep.
only to dream of tomorrow's storm.
tomorrow's future.

...

i run to meet the future--don't we all? perhaps not. funny thing that--future. it comes whether we ask it to or not. sometimes it takes a little too long, or comes a little too quickly. But it always comes.

run.

Now he’s dead you see beneath the sea is where a fish should be.
but oh God, under the weight of Life ...
rain in my Dreams

why can't i sigh?
