flashflood

rivelets of water's rage under tent
force mind of mine and friend's wake
cold beneath
heart race
drops above pelting

the wind lends its hands
pulls at shelter's dome
flapping slapping tearing nylon seams
"Let's go if we aim to live!"

shakes his friends face
both into motion
higher ground, night surrounds

in the morn' the remnant of rain boasts deeds
"hey, look what you missed!"
box canyon's end mud mountain mass
might've been two entombed
