A torrent in the night
Long and wet in the dark
And dripping on the branches
There is a toad chirping
And the moths
Bathed in electric light against the window
Have lost their dust
The bright power of god rolls
Loud and long through the sky
And buries itself in thunder
As it moves into the bricks and wood
Sounding its voice even in the window glass.
The cat who never comes inside, comes inside.
