Nonet

Natural for me to fear lost life,

this lightning flashing above me.

Terrified in the green chair,

rain dripping off shutters—

blue St. Elmo’s fire.

I am alright,

but feeling

jitters,

God!

  1. I love storms! This brought to mind the many afternoon storms where I would sit outside on the porch until the lightning got too close and I would be forced to go in. Thank you for bringing back those memories.
