thunderstorm at noon

by Emily Davidson

remembering you
doesn't make me
sad
right away

remembering you
doesn't make me give a
sigh
full of memories

remembering you
feels more like a weight
that hits me
right in the chest

remembering you
feels as though
i'm in a room
without oxygen and i am slowly
suffocating

remembering you
is a thunderstorm at noon:
it comes, out of nowhere
a horrific gray blanket, thrown over
a blue sky
and it releases
a downpour onto everything, no matter
how dry or undeserving

I like this very much; it’s quite powerful and lives up to the title in an excellent fashion. I just wonder why you went passive in stanza’s 3 and 4. Nice work. Thanks for the read.

That last stanza is killer! Nice work!
