is it still raining?

yes, i heard
unsaid whispers
in my dreams
and woke in the night

the sky had cleared

and just like the stars
I was still myself

my right hand
holding my left hand

in the warmth of autumn
left behind by summer

the dripping trees
secretly undressing
in almost silence

“I'd actually be happy to hear some soothing rain
right now
instead of the siren outside”
