A poem!
Out of a bird clear sky, out of pure ice
cream clouds,
forms a different sort of cloud, a grey
terror monster (good)
a black-white death.
It starts at the peaks, moving down the
ivory foothills
(twinklings of pitter patter silver-wet
kisses)
working themselves: south
into a more clandestine territory,
over pent-up aching rivers.
It gathers strength, empowering itself
within its lust for more.
Its greed becomes its more, as it presses
on
equally through barren fields and pink
peach orchards,
rising violently to this occasion.
At the final rage-blow,
a hard fierce lightning impales the cotton
ground.
The earth swells and writhes in the pain,
singing of the body electric.
But the fear subsides as the storm dies,
falling to the ground, spent.
But her small hands do not compare
to the depth of the storm’s new roses.
