overcast smiles and
        drifting eyes

            drip steadily over the
               bare skin of my torso

     as i throw my arms
       to the wind
               and turn my face up

           to greet the downpour.

                  my throat opens up
                       and screams pour out,

                    gargling, frothing, and
                 ridding my body of
               the toxins that have
                 poisoned me.

           cleansed, i

               dissolve into the rain
             and run downsteam

         until i am sucked up
            into the sun

                        and dripped into
                       someone else's
                            parched, aching mouth.
