Thunder;
blue-white energy
flashing downward sizzling,
frightens everyone of blazing

to stop them and to survive,
and to try and stay alive.

Icily the winter touches me,
some trees are stripped like skeletons
as if death touches everything.

After the robbery of a car
I could do something to them,
write my sorrow in a book,
even call upon God
before I took it further.

At the river (englyn lleddfbroest)
The fish was spilling its roe
while in a kind of birth throe,
while at the river a doe
trampled a hyena’s toe

Old president Bill Clinton
looks at the girls on Clifton,
notices here and there a lady
but does nothing shady.

Early in the morning the white hot sun is already baking,
could I then awake,
before the rain pours down later.
