Storm Ali Was Here
The prophecy came true in the swamplands
She rose from the bowels of an alligator’s belly
Disengaging herself with the hands of a sorcerer
Those who saw were struck as if by lightning
She was confident and unhurried as predicted
The storms are coming for sure, an old timer said
Alligator wrestlers rose from the bottom of the swamp
Following their queen through the jungles toward town
She is coming! Some of the less fearful were screaming.
The town began to shutter itself. Storm Ali was here!
