Black clouds
erased the sky
as the straight wind
blew like
a rumble
from the west
and the poles
fell and power
snapped
with lines
jumbled
like snakes
in a pit
and days went
dark
like an end-time
scene
and silence
reigned
for many nights
till power returned
and the trees
were lit
like small candles
burning bright,
crackles through
the night.
