Storm

Arouse the storm to calm the storm.
Quiet the storm until it wakes.
Wake to blink and nuzzle,
nestle, settle, hush the storm and-
wrapping steady thighs around to ride the storm,
morph and merge with storm.
Surrender to the Intelligence
of its hot gallop.
Soften into the saddle.
Rest
into the lightning
of Impermanence,
until it slows
into warm rivers
of savor-able light.
