poem of the day 11.19.12


unusual rain

i’d given her
my jacket
and umbrella
on the walk
home from school
hummed her a song
shivering
in the cold and unusual rain
but that still
didn’t stop her
from talking
about my friend
mitchell
the whole way home
so finally
i gave up
caught a stinging drop
of water
on my tongue
grudgingly wrote her
out of my heart
as i wondered
what
new miseries
the next year
would
bring
