When thunder calls
It wakes the dead
From out their tomb,
From out their bed.

Lucia and her family lived in the desert, like orange sunshine every day.
She lived with her parents, brothers and sisters, like cacti bloom display.
Their adobe home helped keep them cool, in an area of natural beauty;

thunder roars laughter

Along With The Thunder
Along with the Thunder
came Tempestas, goddess of storms
turtle doves scattered on
corrugated roof, grey feathers flying when glimpsing her fierce amber countenance
this is time of rattling cracked panes
loose screws
when weather ruled, seemingly profane
warmonger wind howls or laughs
