After The Rain Poem by obinna chilekezi

the cloud loud and dark it is
just like yesterday and turning into mish
here stand I at the riverside
dim, gleaming in the darkness of rain

the rain has come
it thrummed on the tree's roof
cascading off everywhere

this rain is strong
as strong as Lagos rain of june
without the lantern lighting of october
as it continually urinating done the ground

the rain is coming stronger
here I am, standing beneath the tree roof
with urge to crawl into a sleepingbag
that is nowhere to be seen
