morning sun peeked

before clouds swallowed

leaving a gray blanket sky

if you can count raindrops

can you call that rain?

of a gloomy feeling

is that yet a feeling?

you might see me walking

this morning, head down

saying HI

with clouds in my voice,

looking inside to see

if it’s going to rain
