Oh, the rain, the rain. I live in the desert, in a land cracked with drought. My city drinks from a river that forgot how to run, under a sky that forgot how to cry. I live along the river, the once mighty Rio Grande, but I can walk across her aching back. You could drop a match and light the sky. You could breathe the local green chile stew and ignite the trees, evaporate the train station. But, oh! When it rains, even when the rain is nothing but sparse mist, I run outside, outstretch my arms, feel the moisture seek my open pores. It's been too long since I've felt the sky's wet embrace.
