In the Rain - Mount Eerie

That I am standing in it and each drop on my skin

The way it touches me awake, into the night

The rain, in the night, acts like a midwife

The rain, in the night, lets out a cry

It says, «Good morning, human

With each drop on your skin, unexpectedly

The flood and you are tied»

The water pouring through the world

Revealing sogginess, and mold, and mountain ice

Bad traffic in grey rain

My wild mansion brain

All being kissed awake

Allowed no place to hide from the roaring flood

The surge of food and beverage (through me)

Trying to lie down in the ditch and spend the night

The feeling on your face

Just before the dawn, the rain

And then the dawn, and then going into life
