Hors d'oeuvres

A black maw yawns overhead,
a darkness filled with rotten
teeth gumming the blue from the
sky, bit by bit, piece by piece.

It has a hunger, this storm
approaching from the north, the
one with an insatiable
appetite for things, below -

it will not be satisfied
until it picks me up with
fingers of wind - hors d'oeuvres to
be snacked on at its leisure.
