Analysis of Tearing Weather



Rainy, these days and big pools aren’t asking
for warmth no more, lying all satisfied,
having no real complaints while they're basking.
Empty dark days and all wetness is shied.
He should as well; satiate, he has tried
with no invite. Appearance provides peaks
those with layers on their baggy posed cheeks
warding off tears. Soaked are his depressed clothes.
Shivering curse. The cold in his balls wreaks
like this torture: “I’ll make you feel the hose.”
