Inspired by the poem “Ah, Ah” by Joy Harjo
Splat, splat goes paint as it drops from the brush
onto the canvas.
Splat, splat water drips from a broken pipe
onto the cement.
Splat, splat juice spilling from a pitcher
into a cup.
Splat, splat a friendship begins
in the rain.
Splat, splat bolts of thunder split
the night sky.
Splat, splat my fears roll
out of my heart.
