Dripping
It rained today.
I look up at the ledge above me and see a drop forming at the corner.
It swells and falls.
My eyes track its path to a small puddle on the ground where it lands.
And shatters.
My eyes drift back up toward heaven just in time to see another one swell
And fall and crash.
After time my eyesight tires of enduring this helpless cycle.
As does my heart.
