Under a thunderhead

Under a thunderhead

in a suddenly darkened field,

straight-backed against a stone,

I wait

like a hunted thing

charmed into paralysis

by a great predatory growling

distantly igniting the silver lining,

blowing the fuse

of everything I was promised

as the trees fill

their great sails

and the ridge line fails --

that great wall breached!
