   “A Walk in the Rain”
   
   At first it’s going to seem cold;
   the drops indiscriminately touching
   skin used to purposeful
   but equally meaningless caresses.
   
   The sky will take away
   all of the dirt from the world,
   the blood from my wounds,
   the glitter of pathetic attempts
   to attract and disguise,
   and once I am laid bare
   I will take a walk as myself,
   by myself.
   
   At first it’s going to seem cold,
   but with each step more of me dissolves.
   Pain.
   Guilt.
   Disappointment.
   Fear.
   …Hope.
   
   I impose my will on the sky.
   I bring down lightning
   and thunder
   to drown my screams of solitude.
   
   At first it’s going to seem cold,
   but I have to do this alone
   because each raindrop
   will eventually find relief
   when absorbed back into the ground.

I am
more than pizza...
