tornado

tornadic nastiness has struck streets
I know that are no longer there
the wishwash of fallen clouds recedes
along with my headache. and the din
of dysfunction is erased leaving
lead laden smudgery. a walk
through the old to refresh the new,
an apple a day with worms
removed and strewn to safety.

enveloped destruction
arrives for unlucky addresses.
neighbors with greener grass
become human again.
