Golconda
By Lynn White
The weather forecast was right,
it’s raining again
as usual.
But this time is different.
There’s nothing usual
about this rain.
They’re all coming back,
those people
sent away
to live in the heavens.
And now they’ve been cloned
to all look the same.
That’s what happens up there
in the heavens.
And now they’re back
falling
as rain
lying
in puddles
on the ground
deeper and deeper.
This time the rain will last
forever.
