Yesterday
heavy rain
The
soft windy breezes
The
crying of cats and dogs
The
sky darkened for it was night
The
showering rain
Other
parts of the world
The
severe storms and flooding
Here
there was joy
The
light of the car entered
The
mother cat and her kitten bolted
Running
away under the rain
They
knew it wasn't the home
The
mother cat hid under the palm tree
Though
the heavy rain belting its song
The
kitten didn't want to share
It
bolted over the fence and disappeared
The
roaring rain
The
rocking sky and its songs
Heavily
downpouring of sweat and tears
For
the humans never understood
The
mother cat still hanging in the cold rain
The
palm leaves protecting her against the beats
Curling
under the palm tree of the night
The
dim light showing its shadow....
The
humans live quietly in the homes
Some
on the road marching with the rain
Others
waiting in cafes and hawkers' stalls
Watching
the rain belting out its songs
