I Hear The Thunder Crashing

I Hear The Thunder Crashing

A Poem by Chris G. Vaillancourt

Patterns, aching, destruction. 
Quietness hurting with intensity. 

I wander in a daze, capturing the 
meandering phallic symbols of my going 

and coming 

and seeking 
something. 

It is a restless drone that precedes 

every other 
imagination. 

Clock is ticking, 

Somebody is waiting to die. 

Jumping shallow in a pool deeply toned 
and thinking that the first thing 
I shall have to do is to cut your hair 
until you whimper. 

Anger, rejection, reflection. 

Pools of bombs exploding in a shallow zone. 
Wandering pick-pockets hurtling their defence. 

I grab a tire and it rolls me, 

rolls me, 

over the druid passages of underwater lights 

I hear the thunder crashing, 
crashing and it's smashing 
the deodorant of the metaphor.

Strong words made this poem create some wild vision. You went into many directions with the poem.
"Pools of bombs exploding in a shallow zone.
Wandering pick-pockets hurtling their defence. "
I like the ending to this excellent poem.
