I remember the rain

I was drinking, I knew that

in the dorm, maybe at a bar

wearing a grey corduroy jacket

how many I don’t remember

too many I’m sure

getting there somehow

standing on the jetty

in the pitch blackness

the tide coming in

crashing on my footsteps

I remember the rain

splashing on my face

only then the silence

waking in my bed 

I don’t know how I lived

how I got off the jetty

the tide coming in

in the middle of the storm
