rain drops just dew wet, unsatisfying--
when a deluge is denied. cant hide tears
tearing all up inside
determinely drowning in your own dead sea
__the only way___

subside

because pause is causing concern
time to think is infinitely unwelcome
re-action in mindseye nigh unbearable
an unwelcome come on in

a crow to pluck with you
a raven turns out but nevermore
and the foul flightless thing
fresh plucked and tender sore
will see the empire stands
