Dancing with the Thunder Beings

Dancing with the Thunder Beings

Music is calming but as empty as my hands. Sound
Hollows me to the bone. Wet green and dull light
Up in the trees. I breathe in blue.
Even a small house is immense
In loneliness. Crow flies down.
Caws. Train sound and dog barking.

I know some words about making things happen.
My dreams follow me around like a child.
My shadow cats around my bare feet
Dancing a five happiness dance.
Crow flaps her great black wings.
A storm is blowing in.

Thunder rises to dance with lightning,
Their bright words shine and fade.
Someone is shaking the rain stick.
I sing and sing. It is good to be wet
In the summer rain. It is good to
Dance with the Thunder Beings.

Shadow cats away, follows
Rain into the field and fades.
Thunder leaves talking love talk to the sky.
I dance in the wet grass, slick and muddy
Ground between my toes. Shake shake to my
Drum heart. My song rising to the stars.
