memories: watermarked albums




we skipped through another puddle
and hushed our laughter in this
unending storm

-cloudy

we fell through transparent rainbows
and learned love underneath the
Seattle sky

-with a chance

we tripped through colored downpours
and photographed memories from
last December

-of rain:

we saw through Hope's empty eyes
and stole more sunsets along the
Puget Sound

-drip, drip, drip.

Prompt:

"If the sky were to suddenly open up, there would be no law, there would be no rule. There would only be you and your memories."
