Howling gales
Lashing thrashing rain
Darkness lit by headlamps
Branches thrashing
To then come crashing
Plantpots flying around
It all got a little bit
Hurricane-y
There for a while
Opaque rain sheets
In wave-like curtains
Spotlit by vague streetlights
Sudden streams
Follow the kerbside
Ribbed for our displeasure
It all got a little bit
Hurricane-y
There for a while
World's invisible
Suddenly revealed
Then vanishing once more
Dawn sun hidden
By pools of black ink
Dissolving in sky's jar
It all got a little bit
Hurricane-y
There for a while
In another place
Time comes crashing down
Pathway glass sparkling
Flung out of place
A lost Christmas tree
Pointing towards escape
It all got a little bit
Hurricane-y
There for a while
Between pauses
Owl-like hooting
Punctuates screaming wind
Leaves resettle
Pools find new levels
Cold calmnesses returning
It all got a little bit
Hurricane-y
There for a while
MAWH, Jan 2018
