JUPITER

His anger filled the sky with thunder.
A crack and a boom and a torrent of water.
Caught by surprise,
We ran for cover,
Scampering like animals seeking shelter.
Then, just as suddenly,
The storm abated
And in its place
Bluish clouds, churning seas
And the tinkling of piano keys outside our window.
