THE RAIN HAS COME

 

the rain is coming 

weather smiles waiting for outburst 

aggressively, the wind whistles 

bins and trash flies across the skies 

the rain is coming 

our clothes on washing line levitates in the air 

the cloud grumbles in grudges 

everywhere dark like a backstage 

the rain is coming 

our patched roof blinks with warning 

curtains dances in ecstasy 

the cool breeze warms the heart 

the rain has come 

it’s tiny droplet deals a heavy blow 

like a tap dance upon our roofs 

our zinc sheet cries in disbelief 

the rain has come again 

uncharted, unscathed

and we children, ready with our pants on

sworn happiness, our feet are ready to dance
