Urban Onslaught
The Puget Sound’s wind bites through the city
Rain and wind gusts fusing into teeth and claws
Duwamish swells like a waking beast
Muddy currents devour streets, stairwells, porches
Trees snap in protest
Their limbs littering roads, blocking the pulse of the city
Thunder rolls like fists on steel hills
The lights blink once
Then vanish
Leaving Seattle blind…listening
For an hour
The city is storm and river, wood and wind
All living
All hungry
A single heartbeat of chaos
Tearing through the urban landscape
