when the rain and a girl of drizzles hum a duet

 

 

Rooftops Cry- Alindog

 

I have grown this affair with the rain

I have grown this affair with treetops

I have married birds on wires

I have married puddles of mud

 

 

I have been writing songs

About your teeth, your lips, your briefs, your braces, your hips,

I have been writing songs about your lips, your teeth, your briefs,

your teeth, your briefs

 

Write me letters

Call me though the line is crap

It has been raining for days and I

I can’t help but say

I miss you

 

I have been running to the kitchen

I have been looking for cups

Cups, saucers, platters and forks

Knives knives knives

 

 

It has been raining for days

And I have been making up songs about your lips,

your teeth, your lips, your briefs,

Your boxers your scent

 

 

I long for you

I long for you

I long for the rain

It has been days of rain

Days of missing you

 

And I missing you

I lie alone

Feeling my breasts

Feeling my thighs

But it’s no good

 

Cause every time the rain falls

The rooftops cry with me

The rooftops cry with me

 

The rooftops cry your name

it’s when he strums that the unstrummed vocal chords

sound like the power Beatnik-Bjork crossover

she likes seashore naps and the view of everything from the bus window. she likes tiny moments and the small spaces between faces when people talk.

 

sometimes, she wakes up to that odd feeling of being a fallen leaf, an old tree, an azotea or a waitress somewhere-- talking to a taxicab driver about that random song on the radio.

 “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
