Storming night

encroaching on sleep
treading on dreams
this invader of rem
that scurries through
the night air unseen

heat waves that licked
the day clean now
raise a torrent off
in the western distance

those waves keep
eyelids that wish to
shut from doing so

those gateways left
ajar in the sky glide
across the tasseled fields
in thrashing fashion

restless, both eyes
and storms in the dark
sky veined and marbled
in electric blue and light
in wet and heat and cold
