A storm came in the night
And tore a hole in the world
Whipping and lashing the earth
Wind beat the ground as if to challenge
As if to carry us away
Or claim us
And roots strained against it
And leaves flew with it
And yesterday's breath crossed continents
And all lights went out
And nothing could be heard over its howl
As the clouds cracked and fell
While you slept on
Awoke to drizzle
And chose shoes for the damp ground
And I lay awake
Eye to eye with chaos
Lost in the wild sky
