Inhale, two, three, four, five, six…
Exhale, two, three, four, five, six…
Inhale, two, three, four, five, six…
Exhale, two, three, four, five, six…

To be ready, to be prepared
Yesterday was about the display
No panic

Checking reports of progress
The storm progresses without comment
The jungle is quiet

Text my sweetheart, call my mother
Speak the eerie gray calm
Not home

A moment of looking online
Facebook reiterates without doubt
The mind is numb

Inhale, two, three, four, five, six…
Exhale, two, three, four, five, six…
Inhale, two, three, four, five, six…
Exhale, two, three, four, five, six…
