Heavy Weather (poetry)
Severe Weather Advisory
A system of fast-moving clouds
high altitude winds speeding
them toward their destination
If it storms, will it rain?
If it rains, will it pour?
If it pours, will we drown?
If we drown, will you mourn?
When the heavens finally open
a torrential shedding of tears
overflows every ocean and sea
If it storms, will it rain?
If it rains, will it pour?
If it pours, will we drown?
If we drown, will you mourn?
Find yourself an Ararat
from the highest precipice
watch for a flicker of wings
If it storms, will it rain?
If it rains, will it pour?
If it pours, will we drown?
If we drown, will you mourn?
Beautiful Desolation
