A Time To Rain
Skies pepper the window with rain
the shiny floor tiles are dangerous.
I dropped the half empty glass of chardonay
spilling sharp wine and two olives.
Mum's in the bath, her arms hanging
dripping a well aged burgandy onto the mat.
The phone goes dead; dad likes to put the receiver down
first. I start to cry, then tread through wine.
The ambulance is here, brought by the rain
