poetic billibong here
I crossed the border
under the cover of the storm
while nature battled herself.
Humans were not to be part of this possessed night
Her house sat past the clearing
I could hear her voice above the storm's screams
singing an old out-of-tune '60s melody.
Between the shadows of the lightening
I could see her dancing in front of the window
She had thrown her clothing into the night
Looking as if she were having sex with the storm
As I ran through the meadow a bolt of lightening
crashed through her window.
In her final moment
she caught sight of me and sang out
'Not tonight my dear Not tonight.
for now and evermore I belong to the storm.
