ink rain weather

Walking barefoot
on fresh grass
rain keeps
smearing
this old
draft

                   / Faint

Dizzy letters
all get 
blurred
eerie story—
last line
slurred

              / D r i z z l i n g lines
                   in ink rain
                    weather /

Books all
tattered,
O, too frail!
this ink
watered down—
too pale

All these stories
drowning, bold;
fading lines
on torn page
drawn

                  / Faint
                    reflections 
                        o f

(Were they
really any
good, though?
I wonder 
now—
too late)
