sway

i recall the tug
the inescapable call
of a perfect storm


my legs

paper cranes
tossed through glass 


my soul did not flinch

yet i blinked twice

& in the distance


wild flickers coaxed

toothsome tribal timpani
it’s a jungle in here

  5. I think Donna gave the perfect comment...those stormy days are full of imagery, not all of it pleasant. I like 'toothsome tribal timpani.'

  6. That safe feeling of being inside being shattered as the storm breaks the window for you to join in the fun. A great poem.
