thunder

purring inside your belly
thunder is
a restless thing

eyes flashing
backbone arching over the sky

tail melting through the clouds

thunder is
a tender thing
surrendering

swallowed whole by the night

Thank you, Borut--I am honored by the visit of such an accomplished poet, welcome!

mb--I could have sworn I heard a catbird! Or was it a bluebird?
My ears are playing tricks on me...
