Rain
When the Sun finally gives up its place in the sky
And the gates of clouds close in
To let the rain pour
When the Sky is no longer content with its outfit
And its forever blue dress
Is stricken by a tint
That makes the world a dream
When the Sea swells
And lets its balanced pride
Fall to the mountains of rain
That patters on its chest
There I will be.
I will be watching from my window, listening to the water tap on the glass like it’s a child trying to show me something, like it had just found snow on Christmas day
I will be in my window, bundled up, watching the people spin their umbrellas and just like that
I am outside, letting the water hit my face and my chest
Feeling the streets and their flowing taps of cobblestone
Watching the puddles that reflect the red lights and turn them into red shots on the ground
Forgetting about what I have to do and where I have to be
Forgetting about everything
Except for where I am,
Watching the rain in San Francisco’s streets

This was written as a response to Jennifer Chang's Presents I Do Not Send You. I wrote it as San Francisco was in a drought so it is essentially a longing for the rain.
