This poem was written in the middle of the night on 27th October 2014. We’d been woken by an almightly crack of thunder. The house was charged with energy. My husband stayed and watched with me awhile, awed by storm and the pounding rain. I stayed up a little longer, too excited to sleep. I’m a bit of a storm lover, it’s fair to say. And so’s my dog, Nelson. He kept me company as I wrote.
