The staccato drum of liquid gifts<\/p>\n
Hitting the roof as the drop in flops<\/p>\n
At first in slow fat lazy plops<\/p>\n
Then fast long shards of heaven’s sieves<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Gaia gulps in greed and happy sighs<\/p>\n
As drop flow in with happy sucks<\/p>\n
Till she no longer can hold her guts<\/p>\n
As plop, the great mother burst her seams<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Reservoirs threw up their hands and wept<\/p>\n
Manholess in tears ask ‘just how deep?<\/p>\n
Drippy gutters not ashamed to weep<\/p>\n
Then who will see your tears in rain<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A gift at first in lazy plops<\/p>\n
Now greedy liquid swirls of hate<\/p>\n
Sweepin and taking with angry whirl<\/p>\n
Both home and house and precious songs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
