an outcropping of a roof

that is

what protects me

from torrential rain

back against

an old garage

and water seeping

through my shoes

and a shiver

goes down my spine

as lightening cracks

across a cloudy sky

and hands protect

my ear from harsh thunder

like words being thrown about

maybe this is a sign to

myself for something

i did?

but then the rain

let’s up and

the sky is still grey

but no rain

follows the lightening

that dances across the sky

and in a way

it’s beautiful
