The Storm

Christopher Hivner

It always smells like rain
when she leaves
and the house goes quiet,
too lonely to make a sound.
He stands on the porch too long
after waving goodbye,
laughing with the avatar
riding her bike up and down the side walk.
He marks the calendar
indicating his daughter’s return.
He lives for that mark,
breathes, eats and sleeps
just to get to that mark
because it smells like rain
when she leaves.
