Ride It Out
Potter in the sky promptly sculpts
Scrapes grey clay into piles pulsating
Driven t'ward dread, born for storm chasing
Seatbelts her, seized by brightest volts
Picked up by gusts, thunder grumble thrust
On ferris wheel rise, rocked spectator
Eyes agape, a brooding threat elates her
Tagged by lightning's tip, torn wide by lust
Truncheons swung from sweaty clouds, rain clubs
At the apex, a lurid bulb sideshow
Her fibres dilated, dauntless, haunted, aglow
Tormented, her descent releases cherubs
Twins, freshly festooned in her nursing
Sugar floss urchins, spun from ferris wheel frisson
Crushed by awe, she cries in downpour's christen
Halo wrapped clouds make a cradle immersing
Heaven's heartbeat heaves grievances
Disgusted dagger, a jagged floodlight bolt
Bred from bravery, her tributes to tumult
Conjure clemence, seek sweet sequences
