The forecast says drizzle, but the rain arrives humming melodies. Each drop carries a different forgotten song. People step outside with open mouths, tasting refrains of lullabies and first dances. The city sings in accidental harmony until the storm passes. Puddles on the sidewalk replay the choruses in soft ripples. Children bottle the water and keep the songs for later. Adults dry off, wondering which parts of themselves the clouds borrowed without asking.
