contagiously.
the storms keep spreading
starting in the ocean and
traveling over my home and
closing the passes and
drenching the rest of the country.
it stops for just long enough to think that
maybe there's hope
just maybe.
just maybe.
but then it comes back
like a cold that won't leave
that you just can't shake
and on days like this
the rain is so contagious
it spreads to your chest
and settles in as a headache
as a cough
as tears that have to rain
on everything.
