lightning in flesh at the mercy of small gods
peel away the dark to find the ugly face of the storm
closer than ever the body has forgotten warmth
juju beads the sudden stillness of mind
filling the empty belly with sparrow song
solstice light rays melt into the river grey
wanders the zen garden in the rain ghost with an axe culling the earthworms
call it a feeling the movement of clouds in our bones
the rain haunts us every waking moment
