It smells like rain br filling the air br before the first drops break br in quiet splashes on the river. br It smells like rain br musty and fresh at once br warning the birds br to go home. br And the rain comes br water on water br cool rush of sound br quieting insects br teasing fish br drenching boaters br surprised by the storm. br It smells like rain br It sounds like rain br It looks like rain, now br I’ll go outside br and feel the rain. br Hell. I’ll be the rain.
