Vigil

Vigil

Where were you last night
When the thunder rolled
And the lightening lit up the sky
Showing its bright, light teeth
Where were you last night
As the clouds gathered
Covering the moon
So that all was darkness
In that pitch black, nothingness way
Where were you last night
As frightened children grabbed my skirts
While rain raced down the door and window panes
Racing to the street
Where were you last night
That it took you til this morning
To drag your smelly, wet self back home
To make paw prints on my kitchen floor.
