Fever Storm

in a lightning flash of rising
temperatures and acid rain
we were a fever storm
splitting trees like memories
killing as much as we created

we brought hot wind with us
a hiss on dry grass making crop circles in our hair
and threading cracks into the ground
we brought chaos and we made love in it
we were dragon's breath

I have lost count of raindrops
and splintered telephone poles
you were always there
bring me back
forget me

there have been full moon midnights and
there have been fires, and
we have been caught amidst
the things we never intended

and we could blame a hundred shards of
broken glass under our feet, when really
it was our fault all along
we should have known when we first collided
that a crack so loud had to shatter a few windows

but we were so in love
and we are so tired now
perhaps it is time
to recline with the old gods
and monsters, and sleep
as they do
