A Texas Thunderstorm

Dont cheapen it with daylight

Or sliding traffic lights

Those liquid crystal beams from shadows to ground

Aperture overexposing bolts

Fleeting inky blotches on my eyes

Should be bringing into relief the figure of trees.

Flashes of light’s memory

All done in a blink.

Dodging impressions on the back of my eyelids

Richness of darkness

Hidden hope

The friction of static energy striking the ground

To awe and horrify

To be small and enveloped

The night ruckus rocking me 

At my core, to sleep
