rain

in australia it was raining very hard, and we were stuck within the underwaterworld building. it rained so hard, for so long, and we just sat in there, staring out through the glass walls into the wet, paved outdoors, where people were struggling with upturned umbrellas, running, others walking sternly upright and deliberately slowly, reluctant to show any trace of cowardice.

we waited, isolated from the thick curtain of rain. and i typed these words into my phone.

'a blank white cloud falling densely around us like a cloak,
obliterating everything in sight.
a visual relief from excess.'
