Rain

Rain falls heavy
Down
Down
Down
Upon once dry ground
Man embraces droplets cold
As heat dissipates
From his sweating form
Rain pours
Covers all
As if a blanket
Of water

Man's love of rain is portrayed as a natural and organic interest, in this verse, and his wish to embrace it is shown to stem from a desire to better control his own homeostasis: in itself a metaphor for the human condition to want control, dominance, and power.
