Post diluvian

[sharplittleteeth]

Woken in the dark by the continuous thunder, and a tsunami of rain. Lightning flashes non-stop, three or four beats a second. And it goes on for hours. We miss the hailstones that dent cars, the floods that drown highways. But that strobe-light lightning scares me. All that angry electricity, swirling through the night clouds.

Sink back to sleep. Dream vivid, jump-cut dreams. Wake up with eyes sore, head aching, feeling somehow unreal. A holy state, suspended between solid dreaming and insubstantial reality.

Then Angelica turns on the morning cartoons, and everything crumbles back to normal.

that storm last night rocked my world apart. i absolutely loved the violence and abandon of it . . but i’d have to agree that weather like that can put you in a surreal head-space..

i hope you’re feeling well this evening, at any rate.
