    It feels empty
    when it rains like dogs all night long
    The wind howling between the
    storm screens
    And the pines bending under the weight of
    some long-forgotten burden
    The sun peeks out
    between holes in the sky
    mockingly shining light on
    the slicklipped roads.
    I need the cold to come soon
    To help me appreciate summer
    I need some lightswitch
    to turn on
    To help me appreciate the night

    Plastic shutters torn off
    of fake hinges
    And the spaces leftover
    From clawed away kittens
    Twenty years since
    she mauled her first rat
    Twenty years since she
    saw her first storm

    Rain, rain
    Stay all day
    So I can face something
    That needs to be taken care of
    Wet yarn and broken boards
    A faulty return bar
    Blinking the time
    Green at me

    I am stuck in the mud
    of sunspots
    And I am heavy with the weight
    of ink.

    Oh, Krystin.

    You're too poetic for words. :(


    That was a very generic comment. :rolleyes: I'm sorry.

    But it's true. :D
