And now rain drops.
The sound of a steady pita-pat.
The sound increasing
Rain falling
Suddenly a crescendo
White sheets spattered
Grey spots
On white sheets
Nearly dry white sheets
Water spatters
Water stained
White sheets
Turning grey
Hanging limp now
Hanging to the ground
And you are gone
Awake now in the darkness
Uncertain of the time
Lying listening
To the rain
Rain hitting against
The bedroom window.
