Rainy Day Blues

Poem for Express it In eight Nov 12 22

What caused the clouds to MELT
into the ground and BASTE it in its juices?
To run down, into the mud
that will be KNEADed by galoshes?
What caused the world's color
to drain down and the thick darkness bray
with loud claps of shout and hunger
as children chant to make it to go away?
