Deluge

It only comes out when it rains.

I take a barrel. Collect. Each drop is my salvation. In final preparation.

My life's calling.

I'll do the cooking. My dirty laundry. All the neighbors will watch me.

"Due diligence?"

Due diligence.

Little birds will sit, barbs on the wire.

My sister will wash her hair.

Granny will water the plants.

They'll lock the stable. Turn down the veils.

"One, two, three. Stop."

One, two, three. Stop.

I fully expect rain, at my funeral march.
