Autumn Rain

Long summer. Days long and hot

Through late September and now,

Rain drowns out all plans that

Through summer were delayed.

To go out of doors is to feel the burden

Of laziness’ retribution, to get wet,

As if water weren’t just water but

The weight of sky unable to hold itself up.

Inside, I am listless, no stories to tell,

Just the thought of cleaning is a living Hell.

I find myself in bed, sheets all unkempt.

Autumn is here, my eyes are dimmed

With too many seasons seen,

Like the sky, and rain falls

In place of forsaken tears.
