Dogs growl, cats snarl
As they target the pavement
The wolf subdued howls
From the cavern’s encagement
As the teary drips
Pelter my head
I envision wet lips
And what was it you said
When you were kissed
In the softening of pain
As we slid in the mist
Of the sinister rain
The thunder warned
Of the passing bane
That impassioned the storm
Of the sinister rain
All run for cover
The heavenly mother screams
For the mad bowler
Wins through extremes
Lightning’s a facade quip
The younger gods
Still in internship
They topple with the odds
And the puddles are swarmed
With angels who have reigned
Now are forlorn
In the sinister rain
Submersing words of quiver,
The wind’s wails distain
So let’s swim their river
In the sinister rain
Let’s prance in the drenches
Of the grave launderers wring
To soil the quenches
Of blissful children who sing
Rain rain go away
Come back another day
The skies are blue now
In the sadness of clarity
Depriving the fowl
Of cloud obscurity
