A rumble stomps
humidity strangles the air
lightning whip of home strikes
I count the time between them
as the thunder gallops towards the dark
seconds speed until they are like enemies
on a battlefield of pain, smothering the stars
minutes increase as the sounds lose their anger
rain pours down, cool with calm.
When all is cool and calm I crawl out from under the covers.
