Photographing Rain from Folly (2013) by Kitchens of Distinction

Photographing Rain

Along the river running
By the ocean turning
Under the sky's flooding
Swirls of grey
Frantically falling
Looking for a place to land

In the night the rains came
In the night the waves came
In the night the men came
In the night the threat came
In the night
We learnt to hold our breath

In the night we embraced
Took the risk of loving
Took his tongue in my mouth
And we prayed

In the night the men came
Broke down the barricades
We bent our backs to running
And we prayed
Frantic and praying
Looking for a place to hide

In the night the men came
In the night the shots came
In the night the pain came
In the night the chains came
In the night I lost you
I lost you

A grey crane is standing
In the daylight shining
Two bodies gently swaying
In the sun

In the sun
