    Rain rain

    Mother told her to save them for rainy days.

    The rain drops on the future this noon.

    This noon of annihilated sun.



    And, this day she breaks her piggy bank.

    Opened, a note from a distant land

    With roaming nomads of memory

    Flies out. It flies to and fro, settles

    On the dust over a black book case.



    A currency it is, to be cashed

    In a different plain, in a world

    With strange lights and figures of the past.

    A sepia lane and lame cat crossing…

    A sparrow touched by death

    A motherly hand placed on her head.





    Mother told her to save them for rainy days

    Powerful, concise. Requires several readings to extract the meaning. I'm not sure I really understand it, but that's allowed. Keep it coming.
