Storm
In no hurry to go nowhere
Sudden stop rains drop and drop
Concrete slab sat
Windblown bits of rain stain the page
Wet ink blurred edges
Sky open pounding at the blue above
Behind thunderheads, sun seeps
Creeps there listening
Erratic rhythms splatter against steaming asphalt
Lushly wet flooding falling
Green jumping out of the grey
The lawn laughing lapping it up
Relief from heat
Distant thundering
Flowing draining sucked up
The sky, fallen in chards of weeping indigo
Rumbling tumbling
Echoes reverberate off bending plums of white
All in the distance so near
Sticky dermis moist dewy
Umbrella useless against torrential waters
Pouring down fumbling around
Drowning out the silence
Silver light filling up everything
