Coping
It has rained for five days
running
the world is
a round puddle
of sunless water
where small islands
are only beginning
to cope
a young boy
in my garden
is bailing out water
from his flower patch
when I ask him why
he tells me
young seeds that have not seen sun
forget
and drown easily.

“When the rain comes we can’t wait for it to go away… Give me too much sun and my mind burns turning grey..”
I enjoyed reading this.
