The downpour seems to have an intimation
Of romance implicit and artless
That has been consistently thriving in her since yesterday
Though it’s only a revival of an existing bondage
Its face felt anew-
And invigorated
May be out of the sensation of being lost-
And inanimate
By his absence- distance and missing
It may be the lack of ceremony of making him tea
Or simply he is either not there, or not palpable.
It reminds her of a painted figure-in low key
Dissolving into the background
Slipping into abstract
And there is only rain outside
And only rain.
