Somber

stark rocky cliffs
foreboding and somber 
light drifts in hollow windows
thunder drowning the screams 
as the rain beats a steady absent rhythm 
black cats run n cry, slink 

into the ether
searing everything 
everything blind
it drifts along a rain-slick street 
street lights flicker
sputter n pop! 

Silent... 

silver screams drift in pale forms 
hollow light along the rocky cliffs 
foreboding & somber
