Thunder
deep n cold, dark, jaded sky, cobalt
dirty clouds, rushing, tumbling pass
beneath broken trees, skeletons reach
each swim n sway scratching the sky
they dance n twirl, nightmares
silhouetted in hot light, strobes
quick blazes flare out into the night
leaving silhouettes burned in optics
in cones n rods, as neurons fire
the storm comes, thunder stumbles
distant rumbles cuts through
the silence, dark n deep, infinite
images echo, light refracts
shadows reflect, crisscross
an angry, threatening sky
the earthquakes in defiance
under a bruised firmament
tree limbs sway like skeleton dance
under the scorched heavens
that wake the electric divine
thunder drums as the storms come.
