I went to him before the storm.
The grumbling thunder echoed
my abnormal heartbeat
as I squeezed the hell out of the steering wheel.
I was with him during the storm.
His white lightning fingers traveled
across pink sky flesh
and my reaction struck and shocked me.
I didn’t want him anymore.
So I watched him at the back door instead,
lighting up in the rain,
taking a hit
or two
or three-
instead of me.
