Monsoon in June

February 4, 2022
By Anonymous

Monsoon in June, I can’t recall a time

Without this blanket of eternal rain

We see a movie; it costs just a dime

It’s cheap enough we’ve no right to complain

 

Monsoon in June, your mother wants my head

For breaking you but I am broken too

I’m struck by lightning, briefly golden, dead

My vacant eyes still wait for skies of blue

 

Monsoon in June, I think it’s far too late

We were a paper crane carefully shaped

But not protected from a crushing fate

Left in the storm while separately we ‘scaped

 

Monsoon in June, a cleansing in disguise

Leaves only petrichor and puffy eyes

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
