open the windows
open the doors
let the storm rage within this house
lift its belly to the quiet still of the center
keep it in the tornado eye
while it does the damage
works swiftly on the wreckage
tears away at totality
leaving nothing left to depend upon
set it down on foreign shores
where it is bloodless and placid
before the pact that was made
the deal was drawn
from the combined rage
of a nettled cumulonimbus
and oppressed earth
with marked indignation
is settled
