Summer storm

And you know it is coming
because your mind is full of massing clouds and
your heart feels heavy and
your stomach folds in on itself

And you wait for it
breath
held
it is coming

Then
Then it breaks
and your eyes cry rain
and your heart pounds
and your stomach shouts thunder
and your mind cracks lightening

crying
pounding
shouting
cracking

And perhaps you are this way for minutes
and perhaps longer
and perhaps longer than that
consumed
drenched
deafened

And then it eases
and it softens
and maybe you glimpse a rainbow
and maybe you don't
and then
it is done

The clouds part
and the sun peaks through
and the air is sweeter
and the air is fresher
