Tea while raining

A cup of tea which got cold being left untouched for so long
the rain falls down, flooding the potted plants below
eyes focused on the open windows of my room
not really seeing anything that can make it blink

I gulped down a little of the bitter lukewarm tea like water
just like the state I am in... bitter, lukewarm turning cold
drowning from the heavy downpour of rain inside and outside
feeling the water, sensing the cold air but still seeing nothing

and so I said to the unseen wind and to the pouring rain
"kampai!" to the nothingness you bring to my life
"kampai!" for leaving behind flood, mud and rust on my windows...
after that I felt tired, stood up and left the tea behind
