Reverberations

Reverberations Moist, heavy air settled upon my skin tauntingly teasing undulating hair. Reaching out I clutch at the mocking wind as its fading coolness flees into cloud my tongue tasting the torment of the air inhaling brimstone scented vibration roiling within a billowing terror striking in a blinding flash of fury trembling as reverberations thunder through the cornerstones of my DNA heart racing to escape a dormant fear the percussive aftermath of lightning’s arc. Stillness becalmed on hope’s sporadic breath exhaled within the darkness of a cloud. ©2/14/2018 submitted to – Describe a thunder storm without the sense of sound – Poetry Contest sponsor – Brenda Chiri
