by me.
Wind picks up
Trees bow and curtsey
ebb and flow
ebb and flow
Depending on the hour,
soon,
Sirens will wail
as they always do After
rain slicks streets And
irreverent drivers pay
no mind.
Ride it out
ride it out
Go on about
your business.
Rain sprinkles
on skin
Cool toddy Candle flicker
my lightening.
I will grow tired
As does the storm.
Candle flicks Lightening answers
Thunder rolls
Nod and sway
nod and sway
Then
still.
This night no sirens
Quiet
finale.
