portrait in the sky there was a storm blowing in from the south all the meteorologists were in heaven with finally something to get excited about
they droned on all day nattering about how to prepare for the fury of nature wind flood trees committing suicide describing in juicy detail all the dangers in store
and then in soothing voices reminded us to close and stay away from windows garagethecar check flashlight batteries and fill water jugs in case the power went south (that last made me laugh since according to them buckets of water will be baptizing us)
it all sounded good to me life had been as bland as baby cereal another mouthful of pablum and i might puke i suited up in a hoodie and ankle boots and headed out in the boring suburban night down to the seawall to welcome this wayward posttropical depression that couldn't have been any more depressed than i was
the moon was riding high over an ocean that apparently hadn't watched tv the water not quite as smooth as glass but certainly not unduly agitated
i stood watching the stars wondering if all the worry about the weather was just wishful thinking on the part of the pros needing a little excitement near the end of a dreary uneventful summer
then the wind began to sing do nothin till you hear from me and bang started mutilating the clouds while an invisible hand smeared the sky with the skin of a heavyweight heading to the canvas for the count
plumpurple bluegray chalkwhite brown blossomed as one by one the stars winked out blotted to oblivion by shreds of clouds
and as i waited for the deluge i saw my soul take shape in the heavens amazed by eyeless nature perfectly replicating the bruises nobody sees copyright 2016 RCdeWinter<
