Valediction
It just doesn’t seem to matter to you if I’m here or not
Hiss of rain outside
the blank tape that ends the mix
unavoidably
You just ignore me
no more single drops
steady stream down the windows
grey light blurs to blue
goodbye
grey room, air pregnant
with moisture
clouds on ceiling
will this rain ever end?
