it is still dripping
and dripping
the raindrops
from up above
like an endless
torrent of
shards
tormenting the
badly wounded
earth
as if it has no
right to complain
and say
'enough is
enough'

but soon
the rain will
have to stop
it can't keep
falling
endlessly
there is only
so much that
it can pour
because the
rain like a
whore
will leave
when the clouds
can give no more.
