Storm Coming

 

The wind from the west made the trees uneasy;


a glowering sky heaving pent-up violence;


the people on the seashore shrinking


to tiny letters in black print under Himalayan sky;


the ocean stepped backwards into distance.




Cracks of lightning shattering heaven;


fish, metallic splinters, breaking the ocean’s hide,


falling back, fragmented anger;


the bellowing cumulus thunder;


a hole in the far horizon where the sun hides down a burrow.
