Mostly in Monsoon Weather

 

 

Mostly in monsoon weather

I can’t remember

If it was you or another

 

The air was thick

The hours were slow

So we went out of hiding

 

We scanned the sky

And found only smudged watercolor

Just another rumor of rain

 

I held your hand

But even love felt clammy

Under the weather

 

The canals choked

The sidewalks sulked

Simply no shelter from rain

 

Was it you then

Held my hand

In the dusk, in the swelter

 

The clouds parted

The moon came out

Just another omen of rain
