“Swirlwindin’”
The waves crash against each other
Like Spartans and Persians fighting until death
Fireballs of water catapult the land
Leaving meteoric pits in the ground
Lava tears rain down in a barrage
Melting everything it touches like acid
The sound of the wind is the sound of a thousand machine guns
Shooting every target to immolation
The sand suctions everything on it
Like quicksand, but much faster
Whirlwind, Swirl, Spin
A girl sits on a roof with closed eyes so she won’t see the violent waves
She’s thinking
A woman is staring distraught at the girl, dodging lava tears and water fireballs
Thinking
A boy being suctioned by the sand is watching the woman
Wondering why
A man was being pummeled to death by the wind
And was imagining
A scientist fell into a pit
Spin, Swirl
Whirlwind
