Storm, In Charcoal

Etching, catching
drawn to sketching~
     ~Charcoal fingers
       dusting lingers
       fine upon your lines

Calling, falling
blackened sprawling~
     ~Pencil staining
       sweet refraining
       humming paper shines

Reaching, teaching
to beseeching~
    ~ Shading pages
       rearranges
       thoughts to scattered form

Reeling, peeling
to the ceiling~
     ~Forms awaken
       not forsaken
       charcoal, evening storm.
