Falling Rain

The rain in endless
Sheets pours down, flooding courtyards
Dampening brown leaves

It came last night, sudden
Downpour in the gutter out-
Side of my window

Never stopping, the
Rain fell though the night, taking
Dust and smog from air

Parts of dining hall
Closed off, filled with water now
Drains clogged with dead leaves

Heat is gone, now cold
Seeps in to buildings with single
Pane glass in windows

From above, the ground
Sprouts brightly colored mushrooms,
Umbrellas with feet.
