Rain2 by *zeldis on deviantART: May 6, 3:11am 7 reviews •http://zeldis.deviantart.com/art/Rain...; Where Sadness Comes From
Don't go back to say it came from way/ back when. It did, it did, but now./ When you said did just now did you feel/
a little dip, a curtsey in/ the middle of the word, almost another syllable but/ not quite? We like to say a word,/ a single word can make us feel. There, there it is again, this time/ a falling down at the end of feel./ You feel it, how that little sound/
goes dropping down and hangs alone./ I'm here to tell you I come from
a place where hanging used to happen:/ it happened in the trees, by God,/ it happens even now in air,/
the air the mouth lets loose; I hear/ a hanging all the time. It leaves a sadness in the voice; we speak,/ and wait for history to catch up/ with us. It's slow, but then, that lets/ you hear it coming; you hear it now/ before you speak, that sadness in/ your voice, the part of you that wants/ to last, to hang or dip, to hold/ the word for just a little more--/ my people, this is an elegy/ to you, the sadness in your voice.
