a symphony: three movements

I.
there are flowers
growing out of gutters
lining the rooftops
as the rain continues
the vacancy sign lit
cooks outside, smoking
waiting to go home

II.
and i am tired
and the rain is making the leaves tremble
and i ease my bones into the ground
letting the rain wash my elbows clean

III.
when i don't think
when,
the world is right
