The Colour of Thunder

a list poem of six sentences

THE COLOUR OF THUNDER

the colour of thunder is
daybreak,
the blue shine
in a crow’s feather.

a boat
without water,
a skinned knee,
sunburn.

a preacher
without a pulpit,
the snap
of a wet towel.

the prick
of a rose’s thorn.

the blue noise
of a siren.

we call it
thunder.
