Getting hammered in Malaysia
pelted on by heavy water
flared by lightening
assaulted by thunder gods
– as if I’d been cosseted in the womb and sucked outside
– so unlike the Malay.
Raindrops are not under your command
we are sent to clear your air
disrupt the haze
silence your cough.
Nothing lasts.
Nothing continues
Nothing sits on top of you
unless lightening strikes your heart
and takes your breath away.
