An African Thunderstorm
David Rubadiri
From the west
Clouds come hurrying with the wind
Turning sharply
Here and there
5
Like a plague of locusts
Whirling,
Tossing up things on its tail
Like a madman chasing nothing.
Pregnant clouds
10
Ride stately on its back,
Gathering to perch on hills
Like dark sinister wings;
The wind whistles by
And trees bend to let it pass.
15
In the village
Screams of delighted children
Toss and turn
In the din of the whirling wind;
Women-
20
Babies clinging on their backs -
Dart about
In and out
Madly;
The wind whistles by
25
Whilst trees bend to let it pass.
Clothes wave like tattered flags
Flying off
To expose dangling breasts
As jagged blinding flashes
30
Rumble, tremble, and crack
Amidst the smell of fired smoke
And the pelting march of the storm
