WITHIN THE RAIN

there is no other world
windshield wipers fail
when floods downpour
World of wet and clouded vision
Wait until a sun will brighten?
Travel in the blindness guessing?
Pull over ,trusting that no car will hit you?
or just keep driving-fish in an ocean of nets and hooks?
Whale too near sonar submarines?
Dolphin coming in to beach?
We are too deep in this-
walls of waters around and within
Motion seems elixir-we are not sharks
whose art is moving to keep breathing
Little gold in a bowl existence
Small as a teardrop in rainstorms
When we are within
There is no way out.
