A Commonplace Book

Tornado at Night



They ran out in nightgowns to seek the protection
Of the overhang of the abandoned gas station,
And resembled the Erecthium's female columns.
The broken power lines flashed white
When they touched the wet ground,
And the girls' legs showed
As round shadows through their nightgowns.
