Description

Outside

Outside, 

the storm bends 

and twists 

the hidden trees, 

beneath the racing dark 

of roaring skies, 

and here 

here I I lie, 

wrapped in quilts 

of warmth and quiet, 

beneath the blinded stare 

of window glass, 

hearing the shaking, 

the creaking eaves, 

the first of rain, 

the heavy drops 

of leaden sky, 

the calamitous clash, 

the shattering thuds 

of thunder 

rolling under 

the chasing moon

 of night, 

I pull the blankets tighter, 

hugging the familiar, 

through the blinking gasps 

of the last of day 

and light.
