Dancing against the rain (Free verse) by Corey McHattan
Glimpsed, one day,
through rain-flecked glass
and grey
Past metal boxes sliding lonely onward-
Alone. Still.
Untroubled by the noise,
The wait,
the endless grinding wet
a figure
like first lust lost
(dawn's new shame)
the pain that will not go away
I caught myself, but then
the bus lurched left
she turned
and
I thought I saw her eyes.
They were pale blue,
and sparkling,
as they danced against the rain.
