day dawned dour
patter of rain splatters on
my window woke me
long before the alarm
the harm to my psyche severe
my mood muddled
in puddles left in landscape dips
worms wriggle across my drive
congregating to contemplate this spate
of soaking weather
and whether to return to grass or
sacrifice their lives on
treacherous asphalt beneath
beneath a lumbering car
