Clattering coins 
forcefully flung 
inside a fragmented glass jar,

doleful howls full of misery, woe
nocturnal creatures arise,

rapid rotations, 
continual tornados

tedious echos beneath 
a derelict railway tunnel,

nefarious lightning 
strikes the thunder,

rolling immensely enraged
she roars fighter jets in fury,

disturbed bees, swarming their hive
stalking, terrorising, pestering

a solo stone plunges
down a bottomless well,

belligerent twangs
upon a jilted ukulele,

these were her hunger pangs,
which fed her insomnia at night.
