2:31 a.m.

a thunderstorm

sprawled unseen across the horizon

creeping closer

cats feet careful

rustle and rattle

in the leaves hissing wind

far off rumbling

vibrates the trembling air

faint flash

amber glow illuminates

the contours of climbing clouds

.

waiting for it

.

the soft rush of rain

.

the damp kiss of a moist wind

tumbling through the window screen

.

waiting

.

because at 2:34 a.m.

time softens it’s grip

wanders off distracted

leaving lovers to lie

bare skin limbs draped tangled

whispering in the darkness

satisfied with this instant

safe inside a single moment

understanding..
