Rain

Misty rain all around, orange Chinese lanterns in the Macy's windows down below brightening up the scene, cleansing rain, good to be inside from the cold, wet, dark, drinking hot chocolate, all packed up ready to go, still coughing, fighting it with zinc, cough syrup, my will, feel the rain washing off our streets, watering our trees and plants, feeling it cleanse me too once again, my soul, toxins, pain, flags flapping wildly outside, dishwasher and TV on in the background, wanting to start anew.
