Stick 299 - Gutter Stick

Gutter Stick

I know you survived the rains
that poured down in the city yesterday

I know you may have not thought
you could reach the gravel side

I know you drank from the sun water
as it broke through the ominous after-cloud

I know you embrace the gutter
as the place where your hope and stength kept you afloat

I know you have taught me to let the waters of storms wash and cleanse
and therefore I now lay in the after of the next of the tomorrow of the strengthening storm
