Andrea McBride

Rain

A shiny drizzle begins.
We talk of going inside,
but in the end, we lift
our faces to the rain,
splay our fingers like petals.

‘Nothing but a cut finger’

is an ant’s grief.
Nothing that an ouch
and a thin strip
of band-aid
couldn't fix.

It’s different for us.

We curl into a ball
like the leggy knot
an ant pulls itself into
before it dies.
