balls of lightning

balls of lightning scrape the darkness off my bedroom window desert hills illuminated thundering growls of a grumpy giant rumble through the night while my pillow squishes against my chest like you loud huffs and puffs scatter twigs, leaves and dust across the concrete sky's all swollen up and the earth pants in anticipation bucking to meet the clouds ravished trees rustle thirsty for so long dry blades of grass stand so soo straight straining to be engulfed a pregnant pause while sheets of silent light splinter into x-rays of desperation and fertile longing she holds her breath quivering and the universe explodes smashing, crashing stabbing the ground splitting it wide open to swallow torrents descending drenching tearing and rending filling and drilling penetrating saturating soaking and drowning gasping for air mad rushing recedes into the lulling drizzle she absorbs until the moon is gone and mouth so dry I wake face buried in the soft folds of what comforts me these days and you're waiting for the wake up call you never wake up to (you know) rid of thoughts washed away evaporated it's a new day love
