Sunday #2

A short one.


Storm clouds rolling in
upon the hazy, never-dark
city night--
    lightning shrill, silent
    laughter and jagged,
    vertical smiles
on the shoulders
of echoing thunder rumbling
the repeated mantra
    held holy by those
    lost night saints
    clutching metal in the plains--
ears held firm for electricity,
but thunder only whispers,
"Soon."
