Rain

The rain, they say, washes the slate clean.

Today, raindrops ran down the glass in races--like tears; like snakes on the windowpane.
In contrast, the river was a flat, blank slate of steely grey.

Subtle signs of Troy float across the atmosphere to me; I seem to attract them. Or perhaps I am the only one who notices because I am the only one who cares.
(a thought.)

Today, a mop of fresh hair, and a scent on an exposed shoulder of cinnamon and sweat and leather.
It wasn't Troy, but it was close.
There was warmth.

They (well Eden) also say that rain as well as washing the slate clean, can cleanse your soul if you let it absorb into your skin.

Maybe every raindrop represents a different feeling or emotion.

Maybe the rain can wash away the Troy’s and Charlie’s and leave you with only yourself?
