Bad Poetry Thursday

The Amphibian Divide
by [REDACTED}

The deafening noise
Chases at the heels of the clouds
Scattering them to the winds
to come again another day

And all that's left 
Under the rain-damp leaves
Is your song

The symphony of your throats
Written just now
Just for tonight 
with themes older than human
but somehow more human than 
The flickering blue glow
That lights the grass
The trees
The ferns
The fences
Emanating from windows
closed and locked

Your cries are not for me.
Your song is brief
Its peak is short
Your song is yours.
Cri de coeur.
