Rain.

The rain,
Pitter patter.
On the roof.

Comes in harder
I hear my mom
calling the dogs.

The rain is too loud
I cannot hear
The names

The door
closes swiftly
with a noise.

The roof
sounds like
Godzilla is banging on it

Soon I cannot
hear myself think
hear myself talk.

There is a scream.
I look up
I see a horror.

Elisa* runs
to Sara**
She has fallen.

Sara looks sleepy.
Before she fell she was
Awake and Energetic.

We look for
a knot on her head.
We find nothing.

I get an
Icepack.
Put it on the back of her head.

The news.
It says a tornado
will come.

I lay in Elisa's lap.
Afraid of the tornado.
She comforts me.

I sit there
with Elisa's arm around me.
I sit there, comforted.

Elisa has to go.
I go out and wave goodbye.
She drives off.

I see
Lightning.
I hope the storm isn't coming back.

I get in my bath.
The rain
starts again.

Pitter patter
on the roof.
I smile, and continue my bath.

**Sara was a 2 1/2 year old. She's...uh....gone now though. She hit her head on the coffee table at my house and it broke open a blood vessel and then...uh....she went away.
