Doorpost

I was at your doorstep the other day
Knocking gently at your wooden door.
There was only silence.

I just had to knock a little louder each time
Maybe you are in some corner of this house.
But nothing happened.

The dark clouds caught up with me
and the rain poured.
Now, I am all wet and dripping.

All I want is to break the news-
You know my mom, she died today.
