Crippling
By: Rachelle King on 12/17/2002; 8:06 PM



Signs causing turbulence of conscience
melt away with rain
from inside this running car.
Portals dropping dews
reveal a silent black
unveil flights of molecules
not intact
evacuating body,
floating hurriedly
through the side door vent.
Each tiny vessel
blossoms: human energy
transforms to star dust nymphs.
Like children
untouched from society's discipline
stomping in puddles
throwing soggy tea leaves.

This poem makes me think of a train. I'm not sure why, but it does.

A train in the rain, running hurriedly through Rachelle's unconscious, dripping words onto the website with tiny splashes.

I think I like it!

You think, huh? Well, thanks, Richard. It's always nice to get compliments from people whose writing I admire (It makes me feel so special--teehee). If your wondering about the simultaneous references to rain, it was due the torrential downpour of rain I just experienced last week while still living in Santa Barbara. I haven't seen rain like that in awhile and I guess it just "spoke to me." I had a creative itch to scratch, so to speak.
