Description

Something 

is coming, 

you can feel it 

in the air,

whispered

in the trees

a tingling, 

at the back 

of your neck, 

for above,

the sky is 

black, 

coal black,

slate black,

jet black,

the clouds deepening 

the premature 

darkness, 

thickening, 

with large clouds 

pressing 

the light 

to dusk

to darkness

overhead,

even the cicadas 

have stopped singing

the gaps 

of silence

muffled, 

somehow 

for the wind is still 

the roar

in the valleys below

subdued, 

silent, 

something is coming 

something is there 

and still

as I watch

listen,

everything 

is waiting,

for there are no people, 

to shutter 

the windows 

to slam the front doors 

only dogs in front yards

barking,

in the ruins, 

crouching,

whimpering,

something is

coming,

and I’m not looking back
