Nature raged on us yesterday.
She whirled her grey madness
in a funnel of massive destruction
Tearing her savage over the land
Snarling her demon in swathes
Of thunder and roar
There is a care-lessness to these storms
Rising from hot and cold
A seething vortex of hellishness
An unaccountable anger that makes
no sense in the sense of things
Gathers up her fury and rumbles
indiscriminate to her path of destruction
Taking earth and stone and house and road
And life to death with no regret
Mindless accumulating rage
There is hardly need to find the metaphor
It rumbles and roars over the whole Earth
Within us and around us gathering
Evolving, stalking and giving
Raging statements of destruction
Global warming on a winter day
In Michigan on the Ides of March
A planet evolving on a winter day
In Michigan on the Ides of March
Nature stating the obvious on a winter day
In Michigan on The Ides of March
Powerful!!
