How the Storm Keeps Me Warm
By John Gregory
Why has lightning never been frightening
to me, but a sense of security?
Why do I love a sky turned green?
What can the comfort of tornadoes mean?
How does the wind hold up its chin
when rainbows look down their nose?
How do acoustic shadows shed
silences in civil wars of sound?
The last question I ask forms my mask:
should I ask it in the casket or before?
