rain under the red raincoat

shower
fall
flurry
downpour
mizzle drizzle
sleet hail
torrent scud
brash spate...
meteors
lightning
sparks away...
wet sloppy
slippery slimy
chocolate brown water flowing down the drain
mackintosh
slicker
poncho
trench coat
under her red rain coat
she watches the clogged drains
carelessly left open
a shirtless bare beggar
sprinting to avoid the torrentous rains
a sheet of torn wornout plastic
over his head
a tiny head clasped warm against his chest...
pale colourless dampening wet
cold clueless their eyes met
cold hungry homeless drenched
he scraped some left over
from her fluffy dog's den
to feed those cold eyes under his chin...
mackintosh
slicker
poncho
trench coat
on the window sill
behind the cushioned grill
she sits
wearing her red tiny raincoat under her rainless roof!!!
