Catching Raindrops
Alice Franze
Your hat pulled down to your eyebrows
Your eyelashes
Stick out, catching raindrops
Blinking, you declare a strong faith
I know you're lying, yet admire your conviction
It's as if that's all you have to hang on to
And it makes me sad
Makes me want to be your sad lover
To love you and your melancholy completely,
To cling to your empty conviction
Like those raindrops catch and cling.
