Watching a Storm Through a Window

Haze and gray clouds maze down and shroud 
the sky; as rain falls thunder claps cry aloud.
And upon the porch, a slippery plank lie;
a dangerous fate; a predestined time.
But then its to late you trip and commence 
shattering glass fragments.
Slit wrists and bloody fingertips
drenched in soggy wine drips
as you slip to the floor; drift off and snore.
Blood stains and gore as you
bleed out and breathe out no more; 
drift on to explore; ride off on the storm.

There is so power in your write ... so much vision of the beat poets, and yet so original, I love them.
