the clouds convulse, to clash
a fearsome ravage of altitude
ice shards, screech and gnash
silver linings deform, obtrude
.
this war of wretched weather
will pass unheeded by most
yet those of frenzied feather
attuned to an empyrean host
will revel in heaven’s distress
bristled bellicose, valorous egress
darting, diving, wings flailing
avian sky dappled, unveiling
.
and Indra thus invoked
shall choke the crepuscular rays
so drown the cries of man
cataclysmic
