Storm


Calm
followed by mist and rain
precedes the storm.
Sounds
of bullets dropping
on the rusted tin roof
of the barn.

Rolling thunder
slowly sweeps
the largest pasture
beating a rhythm
on her drum.

Whispers of wind
find cracks
between the boards,
whistle
their mournful
tune.

Lightning
flashes
brilliantly
in midnight
eyes.
