Call It What It Is

Don’t get up in the night.


Don’t fret, worry or chew your nails

Staring at the rain

Looking for answers—

When there aren’t any,

At least,

None in the rain-streaked pane

Or boiling puddles

Of pain.


Go back to bed and dream

About the first time we met—

How kind I was

And how I always remembered to whisper

Your name

Like a sacred incantation—


Then, ask yourself

Was it me or was it you…

Perhaps, it was the mythical Someones

Whom we all know

Can call a game

Simply because of rain.
