Poem: Deciduous, a Top-Floor Flat

rain breaks
clouds too dark to see on dark
   and fills the roads                 with silence

                   pain draws thighs to abdomen
fights seek their end in silence
rain breaks

against the sunlight,
taps windows if there's wind
clouds too dark to see on dark

                                 obey like kites
battered by rain that drowns red maple leaves
   and fills the roads                 with silence
