In bright sky the stormclouds gather thunderheads will form a cluster Like a strong wind ‘gainst the window pane – like a winter gale’s bluster The mouth – it turned its lips – they cursed – soon to replicate the story That wallowed in its turgid sin free of hallowed glory Until one day – […]

Catching fire
