The Storm

Cold the chains,

That bind the thunder,

Rolling beyond the horizons edge,

Clouds bloom,

Heavy shades of iron and rust,

Light departs in a trail of embers,

Dust laden wind,

Lashing my neck and arms,

Violent warning,

Tasteing of earth and lightning,

Braced on a knee,

Fingers twined in stone,

Face to the sky,

Rictus grin,

Amidst the bruising storm,

Screaming defiance,

As branches crack and fall,

Under the blade of exploding air,

Frozen hell,

A rain of hammers,

Still I hold,

Broad sholders,

A shelter of pain,

Slowly passing to gentle rain,

A soft mew…

As I hold the kitten to my chest,

And set my eyes toward home.
