Things That Fall From the Sky

rain drums on the attic bedroom's roof
i dream of my parents' house shaking from nearby explosions
and interceptor missiles streaking through the sky

it's a minor transposition
my parents are safe (for now)
the missiles rain elsewhere

a buzzing wakes me up
drilling in walls next door
no flying lawnmowers overhead
(i can't associate drones with wedding photography)

all that rattles my window is the wind
only raindrops fall on the roof
the bombs fall so far my neighbours can't hear them
so close i feel the tremors in my sleep
