  Tornado  
 

One last peep
Green and silent
Maybe someone forgot and turned off the sound
"Daddy---"
Shhhh! He strained his ears to hear in the ominous silence
Dark, thick clouds that squashed everything below
An evil brew fell to the ground.

 

Running, running
My little legs pump furiously.
Little legs can't keep up
Like everyone is screaming
But the sky presses the noise to the ground.

  The squelchy blare
Of police mega-phone
Wails inter-mixed with the roaring buzz
of trees, weeds, and maybe me
Sucked up in the psychotic yellowish haze
That oozes
Devours
Maims.
