Dundund prudundun
Droplets drumming dead the door;
Tettle-little lylyettle
Celestial tears tickling ivory eaves.

Tapping toes on a hardwood floor.

Ceiling soaked of sobbing sky,
Child choked as heaven's eye.
Sole soul soaked by sweat
And tears.
Shattered shelter swimming
In fears.

Child trips, yet trudges on.
