By Ken Damerow
Another storm
north of Hope,
others past Denver &
Kawkawlin,
pushing into the lake,
boiling fresh water.
At the lip
of the demon’s anvil,
balanced on the upper tower,
we scan radar alerts
no longer matching
the rising pressures.
The bear cage,
dangerously building,
pushes us, frantic
for solace, towards
the pod-cast people,
certain in themselves.
