A PRAYER FOR RAIN (V. Polichar)

I’m at the top of a ferris wheel.
My arms are caged behind this web of steel.
My skin is stained from the wounds I’ve laid.
My face grows darker with each passing day.

I know it’s not imaginary.
I know I’m not extraordinary.
I know that someday I will move.

Let it rain down on me.
Let it rain down and wash me clean.

I wake from dreams of desert sand,
her yellowed bones in my sun-red hand.
I try to speak — my throat is choked with dust.
I find my eyes are swollen shut with rust.

I know it’s not imaginary. (No.)
I know we’re not extraordinary. (No.)
But her verdant gardens fade to white.

Let it rain down on me.
Let it rain down on California.

At night, the snakes slither through dry grass.
I hear my heart as it whispers past.

— Another bare and muddy riverbed.
— Another stone beside another...

Let it rain down on me.
Let it rain down on California.
We’re at the top of the wheel.
