lightning

alone in my room at night
i imagine you
as storms pelt my windows
as lighting threatens the church tower
i imagine you out
on your roof, glorying
in rain magic
curling through the dark ends
of your wet hair, legs
spread wide in
a defiant stance

with lightning cracking purple
around you

alone in my room at night
i imagine welcoming you
with a blanket, safe
from the harsh winds.
