Brouhaha

From the right point of view, every storm and every drop in it is a rainbow. -Thoreau

.

lightning throbbed

thunder ricocheted

a tempest coalesced

rain tattooed a culpable ground

as if heaven spilled buckets of needled ink

thusly the storm continued its rage

i dampened my opposing thumb and intermittent forefinger

turning yet another unprofitable, indignant page

Author's Note

"There are various tough problems yet to solve, and we must shift to live, betwixt spirit and matter, such a human life as we can." - Thoreau
