its black expanse covered the darkness of night,
void of shadowed sky in flashes quickened light,
rumbles echo across a sheet of thickened cloud,
moving closer with more flashes cracking loud,
streams of water run down through the winded air,
cuts of multicoloured snap against the afraid stare,
being under a sheet of darkness of her own,
too scared to move from there she remains alone,
drains fill up with streams flowing in the streets,
staying in her protection under the soft silkened sheets,
curled into a fetal shape like in the womb again,
safety inside the bed listening to the water drain,
as the flashes fade away into the distant past,
seeing the darkness she missed finally back at last.
