the sound of raindrops
colliding--
with street cement;
only much louder.
PITTER-PATTER-PITTER-PATTER:
the sound of showers
strong--
from a sinister storm;
only much faster.
PITTER-PATTER-PITTER-PATTER-PITTER-PATTER-PITTER-PATTER:
the sound of weary hearts
beating--
waiting for news,
of someone safely home.
