Tuesday Morning

in ,

I woke

this morning

listening to the rain

knocking on my roof

Gently, insistently,

tap tap taping

on the sky light, on the windows.

Perhaps my neighbours heard it

On their roof, at their door

While getting coffee, while watching news,

While praying

on a Tuesday morning in November

gently, insistently.

All over the city,

Up north, down south

Tap tap taping

Everybody listening to the rain.
