The Side-Effect of Thunder

This was organically a given title " Sound of Thunder." But side-effect became a key phrase and line in the progression that made me alter the title.

The Side-Effect of Thunder

crackling around ears
side-effect: screams,
tears, sobs

the sound of lightning

blaring in eye-sight
side-effect: stumbles,
trips, falls

the sound of rain

clinging against skin
side-effect: slips,
drips, sogginess

the sound of silence

broken in between
moments in a storm
side-effect: togetherness
