lightening strike.

When your eyes well with

the sorrow of yesterday

and it feels too dark to see,

tilt your brow upward

just half an inch

and look a little closer to see

that lightening strike

tomorrow.

God and the Devil

Lightening strikes

then

Thunder rolls in

They’re bowling you know

up there in Heaven

— God and the Devil —

Hell I’ll be damned

when God rolls a strike

the Devil chimes in

Bravo, he shouts

dances and spins

now a Turkey I’ll roll

but wait just then

as God bites his lip

his fingers hidden

a Turkey?

How bout, a soul

my friend.

I take off my shoes

to walk in the rain

through thunder & lightening

it’s a damn Good Friday.
