The Rain

a poem

You don’t have to stay here.

This is where the horses sleep.

Horses sleep pretty well.

I don’t mind.

But, it’s cold though.

I don’t mind the cold.

I just wish the rain would stop.

It’s been raining so long.

My fingers are puckered and numb.

I can’t hold a blanket

Or a piece of bread.

I just wish the rain would stop.

You do this to yourself.

I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do it.

Do you even remember the sun?

I remember the sun every night.

Can I get you anything?

Music.

I like music.
