(thanks to Joseph M. for the word Lightning, and to Cherie F. on the bus for picking it)
Born in the
Same space
And time
Twin flames.
One bright,
Hot, electrical,
Blinding
And never more.
The first born
Of twins
Only to pass
Through
The birth
Canal of
Cumulus Nimbus.
Then BOOM!
The second
Twin
Born from
The Death
Of his brother
Lightning.
First cracking
Thundering
Then rolling
Across the
Sky and land
As children
Count…
One Mississippi
Two Mississippi
Three Mississippi
To see how
Far of close
The brothers
Were born.
Egging
Mother Nimbus
To strike closer.
