A raging rain 

wetness filled with sadness

in the city

drenches my flesh and spirit

invisible arms around my breasts tighten their grip

afraid 

the unexplainable appears 

a soothing sensation

like showers of sunlight through a break in the clouds

an invitation 

witness to the clear crispness of your smile

do I trust you? 

I wonder

dancing in the studio of my mind

a knowing glance

over the shoulder

you reach out to me 

an aliveness beckons

and I follow the ache in my heart, 

my hunger and thirst

together 

we follow each other 

on a train

does it matter where?
