in the middle of a rain storm
when the thunder and lightening clash
brightly flash
you appear, feel so near
then fade in a splash
your image smears down the pane
I’m alone again

in the Melancholia form
Oh, what a great job with this difficult form! so intense and then it just …. slowly unwinds

I love this. Love how the words are lyrical and light and rhyme-ey, but the content is quite serious.
