Tempest
He threw at her the black of night
And then the fire of day
Roared as of a hurricane
With avalanching speed
She crackled as a lightning bolt
Within a thunderstorm
And then unleashed – in torrents
The cyclones of her wrath –
With violence they wrestled long
And raged the heaving seas
Hurled the stone of Sisyphus
At Scylla and Charybdis
And in the tempest, tooth and blood
Together bested love –
