A Heavenly What?

[Jo Lynn Ehnes]

I watch as bolts of lightning split
the colors of an incandescent rainbow.
Booms of thunder shake
these inefficient windows

and I laugh because
this very sturdy house (eyes rolling)
was crafted by a contractor
who claims he comes from...
where'd he say?

Oh yes, California.

Now, you'd think
with all that earthquake expertise
he'd know the secret to installing
windows that don't sway
when a band of Angels
have themselves a little raucous dance.

But, I never let that tremulous disturbance
take away my fun in watching God rebuke
that loud, mischievous group
with brilliant jolts of Holy might.

Hey, I remember this one!

Back after a few more reads.

Me

Really? You remember this? I wrote this back before my hysterectomy in 2006, was trying to work on a Gross Blank, I found it the other day and decided it didn't fit that kind of form, so tried breaking it up to improve the flow. Not sure if I've got it down right or not. I can't believe you can remember this.

Flow seems fine to my, dear. I like it. No nits. Tight and polished.

HUGS,
