tornado touches down in open farmland, narrowly
missing a home near Simla, Colorado (here)

There were indications
of impending bad news
largely of what to expect

How and in what form
you preferred not to reveal

Instead you unleashed the
immense power of destruction
and death with such fury and
ferocity that one could only
wait in a trance terrified

Was this some form of
retribution for past sins?
