Rains

 

rains, you said

llueve

trees cry

all the rivers that flow through our veins

it’s raining, said I

está lloviendo

a constant murmur

in the back of the head

un arrullo, te dije

and you looked at me,

puzzled

for the words still sound much the same

arrullo río lluvia murmura

they don’t matter

only us,

you&me

 and the rain

><

and this roof 

over 

our hearts
