buckets full of rain

we used to set
buckets

in each room to catch the rain.
a crack

in the ceiling,
a weak roof.

the gutters full of leaves,
twigs,
dead things.

we'd wait until they were
full

then dump them in the street,
bring them
back in

to start all over again.

it's what i'd do with you.
when the best

thing to have done,
was to move.
