photography by melika carr 'rain on the window'
| foreclosing on the fun house
of a friday night
lightning illuminates the dismal sky
sunset should be hours away
but plaintive booms of thunder
re-adjust life’s clock
hibiscus petals fly
defiled by pre-storm air
landing
stigmatized
on a now dampened porch
tree limbs sway akimbo
beckoning me through raindrops
willing my dreams to dance in the rain
with the lowest common denominator of hope
just one more time
