What I hate about the rain

Kelley Jean White MD

You’re making me write this. I’ll never run
under an umbrella with you again, laughing
and your head kept bumping the new little leaves
of the maples and the wet ran down
my back and I didn’t care. Michael and I
(which Michael?) ran and sang in the rain on a dark
night at Dartmouth and ran drenched into someone’s room
(his or mine?) and the world was absolutely right—
and my hair was long and wet and my face
must have been beautiful laughing. Now I’m a toad.
Thick and wrinkled and always tightly straining
at myself. I hate the rain that tells me I am alone.
I hate the rain that tells me you are warm in front of a fire
with a woman who warms your heart. I have cold hands.
No one to chafe them warm. I don’t mind lonely.
But then the water pours from the gutter into my
eyes and I remember other storms.
