Depths: Rainfall, 2020


'Rain' piece by Richard Rive (published in Prufrock Magazine's summer 2018 issue) around the time of the Cape Town water crisis.
While reading Rive's piece, I remember its version describe rain plummeting towards Cape Town's pavements in abundance, while we suffered a contrasting drought. Rive's rain was a flooding symphony for two humans drowning in their derailing relationship while under oppression during Apartheid.
