Two Days Of Thunder Storms Coming For The Uk

Two Days Of Thunder Storms Coming For The Uk

and The heat’s been stubborn

settling deep in the bricks

nights thick as cloth

days full of stillness

not a breath to break it

Now the warnings are out

two days of storms

rolling in off the Atlantic

wide as counties and wet

enough to make up for lost time

Nothing’s falling yet

but the air’s gone strange

clouds building quiet

like they’re waiting their turn

Neighbours check their drains

move bins back from the kerb

somewhere in the distance

a hammer of thunder

just once

It’s not here

but it’s close by
