Rain. You must never try to run away from rain. You can never run away from
rain. Cos rain is forever there. Drops. Falling decisively . Crashing hopelessly
. Sighing silently. Whispering as they slowly yet so fast cut their way through
the cold, razor-sharp air.
Little.
Round.
Liquid.
Drops.
Of rain.
Like the drops that soaked me to the bone tonight. Standing in the rain. With a
pair of high heeled shoes in one hand.The other hopelessly hugging my
waist.Trying to stop my shaking.Have you ever felt so small under the vastness
of the skies?

Being with so many people just before, but still feeling lonely.And not just
that.Being in a room full of people, dressed like the little queen of all
hipsters but still feeling Alone. Rushing outside to get some air,  suddenly
breathing in there had become harder. And out there you find that long lost love
of yours.In whose arms you willingly fall and lose yourself. Whom you let touch
and run fingers all over you.Opening up and crying , pouring out your sorrow.
She's falling on you while you're falling for her. She's taking over you and
gently pushes you on the ground.It's wet.And muddy.Little puddles of water
reflect the shattered bits of sky, which is the only thing you can grasp of it ,
without feeling the grinds in your brain dangerously creaking .

The night would have been so quiet otherwise, yet your love is whispering in
your ear. And her whispers have something of the sorrow of the sad songs in
them.Something of the fear of the veins under the frail skin of the wrist,
something of the savage joy of the razor, flirting with the thin layers of skin
wrapping the illusion we call life . She reminds you of the pang of pain right
on the moment of utter happiness that cleaves your chest apart.

She falls down on you.All over you. And the only thing you can do is cry. Cry in
the thought of the sky over the other hemisphere. If it's cloudy, if it's blue.
And cry at the thought of someone you've left behind, or just ahead, or maybe
this is the torture you have to go through and come to the other end intact and
in one piece, still sane though.Your role in the catastrophic plans of fate. Is
for Pain.

And your lover genlty strokes your cheek and kisses your eyes...tells you
everything is gonna be ok, "Please let me wash away your fear, wash away your
pain, your sadness, your inexplicable outbursts of insanity, your sin, your
guilt, your sorrow. Let me wash away your tears". And you suddenly understand.
The realisation strikes you. "No!" you cry. "No, you can't do that!". "No, you
can't wash away  my fears nor my tears. No, Rain....you'll wash -me- away then.
I'll melt away  and slowly be absorbed by the earth beneath me. No. No ,Rain. I
love you . And you  know that. But there's still someone I love more than you.
More than my pain and my sorrow and for whom I would deny them. No , Rain. Not
just yet."

And the rain slowly dies out....licks your lips for the final time and withdaws.
An you find yourself walking in the fields alone,soaked to the bone, with a pair
of high heeled shoes in one hand, the other one hopelessly hugging your
waist.Trying to stop your shaking.Having a faint memory of once being the little
queen of all hipsters.But you can never be too sure about anything any more.

You keep walking, and in your head you hear that christmas carol
resounding...."Little drummer boy".......
You keep walking towards the end of the picture. You dissapear. The music is
still playing.

....You must never try to run away from rain. You can never run away from
rain......


Love to you all,
sorry for the lack of content....for some of you at least.....

Joanna
