Declines
A raindrop declines
as it’s meant to.
That’s its job:
to fall.
When the raindrop explodes on a surface,
separating into molecules by the billions,
it is still water,
but the force projects it in a thousand new directions.
Four years of gravity.
You were warm,
but it felt like
you weren’t there.
We’d get drunk and
you’d drive home.
“I’m going to cum,”
you’d say.
It doesn’t matter how long the fall.
When we splash
we go in different directions
like molecules do.
