Tonight, the sky is dirty gray and dull.

An uneasy silence creeping,

carried with a swelling lull.

A tattering rainfall gathers then subsides.

Spattering and splatting the sidewalk with

filth and mud and sludge and grime.

Sudden lightning flash burst tearing the storm front’s bowels.

A heartbeat skips and shutters,

as the thunder roars and growls.
