It crossed Phoenix,
a freak storm
out of the west,
late April.
Lightning unleashed
shoulder crushing thunder.
Monstrous clouds tore at each other,
pinkish purple full of ice
on the face of them,
blackened grey all around,
charging like raging brigands,
the conquerors of everything,
throwing golf ball-sized hail
that pounded roofs and destroyed cars,
frightening reminders that the giants
among us can wreak havoc at any time.
