it’s raining
in texas
this time of year
is always tough
but when it is
raining in texas
on a cool autumn night
it seems worse
somehow

so now
it’s raining
in texas
as he sits
with face pressed
against the cold pane
of glass
somehow
it is worse

somehow
it’s worse

homesick
for a home
he never really
had
watching the rain
as it falls
softly
against the glass

it is raining
in texas.
