you were in the shower when it started raining
and because i couldn't hold you
i went to the porch alone
and held drops from the leaky roof in my hand
my toe caught on a nail
and began bleeding like an onion
in the grass
it slowed to a drizzle by the time you got out
and when your musky hair fell
on my shoulder
steam was rising from the street

goodnight 1.2.98
