Thunderstruck

Thunderstruck

there be lightning in the air!
but i am unafraid
as i watch the flashes
through my roller blind
and ignore the fears
creeping into my mind
and the roars of thunder
that plunder
the silence
i cough
as i quaff
the still red pool
the grapes of wrath
that made me cough
that lurk within
so cool
i dread the dead
that lie behind this hidden thread
of doubt
 but i cannot get out
for i am trapped
within my skin
my soul spreads
like butter
under the skin
