January Floods

January Floods

It's not a
crash
a plunge
a tumble -
Rather a dull
thud
- then the slow,
seeping
Explosion of a violet
invasion

an army of strain
in the squalor of the sighs

This poem is quite suggestive. I like that you use so many words that connote sound: "crash", "plunge", "tumble", "thud". What I do not understand is the inclusion of "violet". Is rain not supposed to be blue, like water?

I still do not, however, understand the last stanza.
