the thoughts in my head are as numerous
as the stars scattered across the sky. 
when I brainstorm
rain begins to fall.
...
        
            thoughts skitter
across my mind, 
colors chasing each other
like a pair of otters.
...
        
            hope remains. 
sticking to our elbows 
like honey from the countertop
we just finished wiping off.
...
