sweeping from the south
fat raindrops mottle my shirt
a burst of cold breeze
a few words spewing from my soul…

flood water rising
eating at the riverbanks
large bites of the shore
old pathways for all crumble
forcing change on everyone

stormy percussion
rimshots against the window
thunder’s low bass drum

This must be how it feels
to the tree alone
in the forest,
only the breeze to stroke
her leafy green hair,
to have limbs
rattle and shake,
as she bends or breaks
in the midst of the storm,
broken bits piled in heaps
or scattered
across the lawn,
to fall
and have no one
acknowledge the sound.

dripping from the eaves
remnants of thunderous storm
in the bathroom sink
leaky faucet echoing
reminders of nature’s power
