Raining Death


It’s raining death...
And the ceiling is leaking...

    The Roof Is Leaking Lyrics
    The roof is leakin' and the wind is howlin'
    Kids are crying 'cause the sheets are so cold
    I woke this mornin' found my hands were frozen
    I've tried to fix the fire but you know the damn thing's too old
    ……..
    ~ Phil Collins

    Leaking Roof
    No one should dred going home.
    No one should put their dreams on the shelf,
    and no one should hate themself.
    Then why do I?
    Home is where the heart is,
    what a lie!
    Sometimes,
    I just want to tell my life " good bye."

    This home is made
    of lies,
    tears, and
    pain.
    Through the roof
    leaks the rain.

  2. The Leaking Roof
    it is raining and here i am stuck
    under the roof of a deserted house
    the windows are open
    nobody has come to close four windows
    looking to the street like an insomniac,
    the door is creaky like a sore throat
    sounding like an incurable allergic sneeze
    the crazy wind bangs it from time to time
    and i do not mind the routine of noise
    for a while a walk to and fro
    like i am making a picket
    observing the details of how a deserted house
    can look like
    or feel like: there seems to be a growling silence
    abbreviating itself like a scream
    cut short by my hands kept inside my pocket
    i look up and see the leaking roof
    making a rhythm of the dripping beat
    of this poem.

    i have nothing in mind, i am empty
    and emptying still. I take in so much quantity
    of silence, the weight of thoughts,
    the silly purposeless probe
    of what i am suppose to be and where i must be going
    after this temporariness of loafing.
    The rain stops. I am leaving.
    The rhythm ceases.
