Fujiwhara Effect

FUJIWHARA EFFECT

     Castanets blazing
Crashing
          Dancing, two too,  hot
                 Figures frenzied
Territorial
    Spinning, sidewinding
                        Like sumo wrestlers, sizing
Each other up
        A man, a woman
                    Feisty, fiesta of sorts
Contemplating their next moves
   Slowing down, steeping
     Stepping ever so slightly
Looking for a crown
                                Together at last,
                                  An immense storm
The shore longs to run, to hide
        Heartbeat of waves, throbbing
Frenzied, frightened
      Castanets chattering
Like teeth, casting crowns
     Against the beach
                              Taking it by force
Sand in the eyes
   The tide rises, higher
                        And higher
     Into vacation homes
  Whipping, lashing
Every last inch
                                     Driving it home
       A giant craps
When the vows are taken
    In fujiwhara effect
