...thunder rumbles
               constantly

Clouds that merge forever

Adam and Eve’s sacred parts haired,

Lapse Made His Shop Collapse

...I knew it was a lapse
That made his shop collapse:

...As an ancient oak creaks and groans,
wailing winds rattle its branches.
And the pitter-patter of drops
starts drumming on patio stones.

Raindrops morph into sleet and hail
