lyrics

After the rains came
You were a whisper
Grey was a curtain
Slanting
A promise of light to come.

After the rains came
Colours were muted
Less of a burden
Fingertips a drumroll against the windowpane
And in-between – silence.

After the rains came
Mirrors were gaps
Walls giving back
Ticks, as clocks’ clicked fingers
Filled the house.

After the rains came
Cushions filled to empty
And dust held court
In clasps of five
On secret surfaces.

After the rains came
I breathed in green
And breathed out blue
Like the gathering sky
Seen through the trees.

And the season… ended.
