as i sit silently by my window

and watch the raindrops slide

down the glass

i think of home

and i begin to wonder where home is

i think maybe

it's a place where raindrops

don't fall or at least

not on days that i feel

like this

and as i watch the water

i find myself crying

and for hours

(or maybe only minutes or even seconds)

i sit there silently

and watch the raindrops slide

down the glass

(home, 1993)
