Impromptu

i woke to
the rapid
fire of rain
a Chinese
water torture
test testing itself
on the roof above
my forehead then

came lightning always
followed by thunder
never one without
the other as my
stomach rumbled
waking empty but
i being a primitive
man hid

back 
under
covers
fearing
to face
the day
and or
nature

Cold and wet. Rather unappealing. Not heavy though, fingers crossed, the rivers be flooding.

Thank you Maureen. It's really doing this outside. How is your weather?
