O is for… Ombrology
~ by Laurel Regan
a memory
bus stop
waiting
early-alarm weariness
wee-hour morning sky
still dark
streetlight reflections flickering in
puddles
textured with wind-driven ripples
and
it
is
pouring
rain coat, drenched
waterproof shoes, leaking
raised umbrella, useless
drip
drip
drip
crowded bus, windows steamed
wet bodies packed together
soaked, unsmiling
braced for another long work day
marked by
sopping hair
clammy feet
sodden spirit
finally dry?
must be time to go
back in the rain
back on the bus
back to your home
until tomorrow
then
lather
rinse
repeat…
