In A Choking City

The umbrella opens up about
the sunshine severance.
Nothing mind won't instruct
when it knows muscles won't follow.

Today I dream about Pyro something.
It may be true as well; I feel fire
in my lungs, debris and ashes in my heart.
Rain punctures the skin of verity. 



Rain Violence

The shrapnel of rain struck 
against the tarpaulin of a makeshift shop 
pierce my state of being.

All day, a day that may feel like
the whole life, I shall try to operate and extract 
the splinters of monsoon from my spirit.

A few may stay inside near the source of warmth 
and set me in a bursting mood.
