have you ever felt it rain
on the inside?
like the wet side of a tall single paned window
a dark, quiet, rainy night
large drops
straight down
no wind, no lightening
too many drops accumulate on the glass
like a silently screaming child's tears
hot
streaking down from your eyes
past your nose
over stretched, sore cheeks
cooled by the time they reach your chin
dripless
down your throat as you swallow, dry-mouthed
on the outside a brief moment
lost
staring out the window
a beautiful, sunny day
