Dark Rain

A ubiquitous atmosphere of uncertainty
drenched in the stench of distrust
precipitates its parts per billion onto the social fabric
that fortifies collaboration, consensus, and unity
within the tapestry of civil administration.

Dirigible narratives buoyantly navigate the cloudy sky
and glide on the charged particles of repulsion and attraction,
igniting flash points of violence with subsequent roars
and rumbles that diminish signals of assurance
amid the noise.

Dark rain spawns poker- faced fauna
in floral pockets of unintelligible chat and laughter
while girders of cohesion passively crumble
and hope fades to murk in the reclusive exercise
of a preferred silence.
