Deadly Whirling Dervish10 Years AgoBlack clouds; run for cover; there
is no escape//
Warning siren warns of disaster,
but too late for you//
Dark cauldron of spinning madness
is on you before you know it; nowhere to run,
and nowhere to hide//
The noise is unbearable; even if
you survive,
you’ll never feel safe again//
The all-clear is sounded, and you
crawl up into the light,
into an unrecognizable world of unimaginable
destruction//
The sickly-dark clouds have seemingly
disappeared,
leaving behind shafts of bright sunlight,
that bathe
everything they touch in an unearthly
light//
Whereas before, sleepy houses on
quiet streets
filled your vision, are now mounds of
kindling for
as far as the eye can see; nothing
is recognizable
as your neighbors’ house; and
yours?
Forget about it; And your pet you
didn’t have
time to round up? Same!
You look around in a daze
at all that’s left of your life, and
your eyes fill with tears//
Everything except memories gone in
that deadly whirling dervish
