When it Rains
throw some
glitter in the air
and watch it fall
unmelted snow
on the ground
like sand in the sun
a thousand lights at Christmas
reflected on wet pavement
in the eye of a sailor
who can’t go home
sequins stitched on the sea
gather in the sky
a twinkle in the dark
I heard you whisper
and say
don’t go …
so we danced
under the glitter
of trees
and forgot about the time
running in the rain
like nothing ends
specks stuck
to the windshield
some in your hair
the rest got swept away
I see it
everywhere
