963

watched the green rain
fall across your lilies
causing them to spiral
twist
toward the heavens

i thought about you
when the rain swept through
the screen door
and soaked the
“welcome home”
mat inside

I thought I saw your face
when I went for a run
hiding in the leaves
discarded by the groundskeeper

maybe you were there
catching your breath
after doing the same

I’ve calmed down
