Mikaela Castledine #20 My First Thunderstorm

My first thunderstorm
is denim dark
bleeding into the wash
a blue serge
my fathers legs
have my back

East over the paddocks
it comes
west my father
leans against the housewall
one strong arm
secures me

Lightening is the shape of love
safety in the face of it
even now
a thunderstorm
fills me euphoric with light

What keeps me
from walking out
fizzing into the ozone
denim warm conforming
to my shape
cotton comfort dark as a dye lot
a strong arm
