Natural Disaster
A thunderstorm brews on my lips,
a hurricane wrecks my heart.
There is a wildfire blazing in my chest
a tornado seems to reside in my head.
Tsunamis rest just behind my eyelids,
Floods threaten just behind them.
Earthquakes shake my bones
and a volcano threatens to explode in my lungs.
An avalanche erupts just behind my toes.
My wrists hold a thousand blizzards,
my ankles barely contain landslides.
‘You’re a disaster’ they scoff
as they eye the things raging inside of me.
No, I correct their mistake: I am several of them.
I have simply learned how to control the weather.
