Swollen clouds sweep against the blue ceiling
Brooding grays a promise of what lies beyond
Then it happens
Sky opens
Empties itself like fervent desire
The parched earth swallows greedily
And the steady hum of water thuds against the roof
And rolls a jagged river down the window
Tapping a rhythmic beat as it slaps against the surface
Pressing hard against metal curves
The movement creates a contentious push and pull
The rain balls and slides
streaming against the pressure
and retreats down
before being entirely torn away from our metal torso
at 100 km's an hour
It's an inconvenient marriage
bruised and broken skies against our momentum
a brutal dance where rain meets car in motion
a lesson in aerodynamics
as the rain races to greet us and is ripped away in a frantic haze
