the black umbrella

i often think of women
in terms
of the umbrella they hold
over her head and yours
in the pouring rain.
with the click of a button,
the fabric spreads open, 
i think of pastel colors,
maybe yellow,
or sweet pink.
the comfort of blue,
a mischievous green,
the laugher of polka dots,
and then there's the black
shade of a few,
where no light gets in,
held over your life 
not to hold back the sky,
but to bring you rain.
