parts of awesome

april acting like march again
a rainless wind crosses the sky laden
with clouds that will drop heavy
storms out to sea.


precarious living at the bayou,
flotsam wahes up demanding
a favor you just.. this minute stopped
granting. calling the authorities

misfires but the bar closes anyway.
didn't mean to do that i bet.
it's ok, really. too much foot traffic
always brings thieves and rats.

time as a way of reinforcing forgotten
lessons. smell of rain before hail
breaks loose. canons of warning bells,
tempers on the loose, ptsd on the rise.

you think you got the formula
i's just that number 7 is so unstable.
it may be a lucky number, but not
for the elements
