Grounded


Once saw lightning hit a desiccated palm. From a distance.
The explosion a sight to behold, we waited on the engines.

Lit up like a candle in the meantime, we were enthralled.

The company put it out promptly and we dispersed.

Another time, camped on a hilltop in the Blue River Valley,

a thunderstorm swept through Alpine, lightning near about.

Got
off that hill in a heartbeat; a fright one remembers!
Yet the worst is when I frighten myself. Really.
