Bidding Them Access

Raging tornadoes
 coursing the land
They enter our psyches
low pressure at hand

To flatten our tinder
and rip out its studs
Our entry and exit
left deep in the mud

They hail from the flatlands
of thoughts we disperse 
And leave in a cyclone
of verses they curse

Attempting to stop them
we close our eyes tight
But ears bid them access
— to welcome their blight
