Flash! A warning,
Pale white like Death.
Only seconds until–
Crackle BOOM! Rumble rumble…

Rain on my window
Like little lady fingers;
Drunk tap dancers keeping time.

Another flash of warning–
Not white; blood red.
My clock is dead.

Now the white flash!
Crackle BOOM! Rumble rumble…

The sky bleeds

On a tarnished breed.

God is furious.

Thunderstorms are incredibly awe-inspiring to me. Slightly annoying at times.
