| Anna Yang RainFlecks on the pavement,Patterns—
 Never could be regular
 Even if they tried their hardest.
 
 Their icy tears form on branches like
 Glass beads on a necklace,
 Blurring hard edges and
 Sharp lines.
 
 White noise
 Swallows all surroundings,
 Just a steady drumming as each
 Drop touches down.
 
 I close my eyes and feel
 Nothing.
 As it all
 Falls
 Away.
