Inundated

So fast it rained torrentially 

Stripping off the residues

That hung around like worn-out rags

A running beat of slapping shoes

Smothering beams of struggling light

Forcing twisted sprites down drains

Coughing in the gutter runs

Monstrous filth of stark remains

Gurgle desperate drowning voices

Pouring out a wretched plea

Into cauldrons of relentlessness
Renewed refreshed and running free
