Storm

Even the green landscape
Listened 
When the force of water 
Made its appearance 
Remnants 
Of the hurricane 
Pushing 
Right into 
The shadow of the north,
Where the storm 
Fell like a comet 
Into a sleeping sea of trees 
Until 
They split wide open 
And streets 
Became rivers 
While the villagers 
Got sober
With the high and low notes of rain.
