rainy days

damp wet and dripping. the day slips and slides and shimmers in a pool of water under my feet. loud splash flying down the gutter and across the window frame. light zips through the electrified air, thunder crashes as the ground shudders against the weight of the hard and heavy and cold rain. the wind sprays mist on my face, my hands are wet, squishy toes in my damp sandals.
