Stillborn Nimbus Undefined wrinkles turn to scars Parched skin cracks and heaves to breathe In the sweltering heat

Pandora's Box expands & contracts Unhinged, hopes of steam released Spiraling up to form a fat nimbus Condensed, it descends Electra clouds Helios Shriveled leaves rustle in anticipation Strum & Drang! Earth stretches up Opening arms wide to embrace and the fat nimbus dithers, Pretends, dangling in air Ah! The sapping humidity! Somethings pre-ordained No showers or hails The fat nimbus aborts Dropping a stillborn a blind bomb Its dead weight crushes scars, obliterates cracks

Chokes the earth which gasps for air Asthmatically! Should it? Can it? Wait any longer For the western winds? Shyam 16th May 2012
