Naked summer storm/Revised6-29-06
I watch the sun break through
the clouds in a burst of color
only to be bullied into hiding as
the thunder rumbles and stumbles closer
There’s a light show brewing
I can see the flashes jutting just beyond
the curves of the darkening sky
The angels are taking digitals
How they must laugh
as we scurry and scramble for shelter
as mist turns into spatters of rain
They must find it odd that I welcome
the downpour of a summer storm
I must be…...amusing
The flashes come faster and closer
as I laugh and dance in the warm June waters
till the clothing on my flesh becomes transparent
Funny…I don’t FEEL naked
But, I do feel the ground quake
as lightning flashes heralding the echoes of thunder
