In a Dark and Stormy Night
January 31, 2011
Thundering skies
TV static
Candles lit
It is late
Loud, scary flashes distracting my thoughts
Sleepless stirring
Candle and arms on the table
Conversation with silence
Questions are asked
Yes or no.
Are you woman?
Flame rises
Are you home?
Flame lowers
Are you alone?
Flame rises
How did you die?
Flame rises
And rises
Out of control
House in flames
Her death’s story
Is now mine.
Questions were asked
Yes or no
(only).
