Rain

Posted bylou rasmusPosted inPoemsTags:, , , , , ,

I like to listen to Alice in Chains
when it rains,
and watch the water run sideways
across my window.
Really down in a fucking hole.
Stuck thinking about
a million different things
that I can’t control or change.
Makes me feel insane,
or at least slightly unstable,
even though I know that eventually
the tables will turn.
Eventually.
Or not.
I can’t be sure.
And I’m really down in a fucking hole.

DEAD RED FISH

Published by lou rasmus

Lou Rasmus is an independent author from Chicago, IL. His works are largely focused on exploring the meaning of life – or lack thereof – while the themes of love, relationships, and self-loathing are also central to many of his stories. His upcoming novel, Primrose Isle, will be his third self-published title. Grapefruit Juice, a collection of bitter poems and short stories, and DEAD RED FISH, his semi-autobiographical debut novel about a young man coming to age on a road trip with his childhood friends, are also available on Amazon.

  9. Like the good Lord says…
    All things are possible through Alice in Chains.
    Especially when down in a hole
    Here’s something brand new from AIC from a couple weeks ago.
    If this doesn’t cheer you up… you probably need a monkey. 🙂
