Morning Crashes

a july morning crashes with the thunder gentle rat-a-tat rhythm rain-tears on a metal skin his shoulders are slumped his heart the drum loved by all yet loved by none the storm intensifies in and around him zephyr screams at the trees flesh rips from their bones fire cracks the sky and when the wind and rain have had enough they release him to find his way home
