Torrential Glances

I can hear the wind accelerating,

Spinning into a whirlpool of flare.

There is no cow flying by

Only the branches that glare

Off into a swirling night.

If I step outside my door,

I think there's no one there

Ignore the howling wind

Then I see the distant stare

Coming from your house across.

One light shines from your bedroom

Across the way I see you look

Your hair is frizzled and standing on end

In your hand the gun you took

Your eyes aflame across our space.

Lightning strikes and there I see

As clear as clear can be

Your eyes ablaze at me

The torrential glance you tee

Right into the soul of me

Your window you pull open

And aim your gun my way

I hear a crack of lightning

But it is not lightning I say

It is instead the last thing I hear
