lightning
is a lovely thing
a gift from Zeus
his party trick
his wild celestial
bling
a flash
no earthly
pyrotechnician
can match
and random with it
direct from Mt Olympus
all the way
to freak us out
to scare us
with a little
thrill
it’s brill
and never mind the thunder
a mere afterthought
beamed in from Valhalla
a Nordic rumble
post-it note from Thor
knock on the door
of fright
to estimate
our distance
from the storm
one bloody second
two bloody seconds
three
bold flashy
light show
that will seek me out
behind my couch
expose me
like a photograph
burn me to the ground
quick!
cover mirrors
curtain windows
keep away from
glass.
