Rain, Rain

Rain, Rain

written by: Godwin Oyewole

 

From the north swung
Dry, wild
Hurrying
Fast
To the market feet,

Children fled
Playground dead
Rolling bowls
Dusty sand
Tempest rise,

Women flung,
Babies clung
Aback sweating
Souls.

Clothes lost,
Loose, weak
Enough to display
Jagged breast.

Heads, feet
Even birds
Yielded
Way home.

But we
Street kids
Enjoy rain
In merciful
Cruelty and
Pure bliss.
