Gerry Stewart
Talking through Rainstorms
Rain washes over windows,
constant, alluring.
Rare thunder disturbs our sleep.
Faces pressed to the glass,
storms could shake our foundations.
Breaking each other into devourable pieces;
lips, hands, necks,
we roll them over the warmth of our tongues.
Whispered words drop well-worn,
falling onto night, water over stones.
Lightning stitches the sky silver-blue.
Liquid silence, you descend lead-weighted
through layers of silted dreams,
leaving me stranded on the shore.
