Durable Rhythm

Hammer at the shingles on the roof Trying to stop the leak Tap tap tap Steady rhythm It is raining cold Droplets strike a tune across my shoulders Tap tap tap bone deep cold Solitary work Close it off, pull it down tight Tap tap tap Raindrops coalesce on my neck Icy rivulets snake between my breasts Steal my warmth Tap tap tap Curl around my solid pulse
