It's been raining for a month.
The sun occasionally breaks thru to say hello
as to say: Don't worry, I'm still here
Rain, everywhere
rain in my mind
I carry the stones thru the rain
over the ridge
No place have I found where I can lay them down
It's been raining for well a month
The sweeping shadow of the black rider
the overwhelming hollowness is out there
The sun smiles at us from behind the clouds
Sometimes I feel it
Can you feel it?
