I Feel Lightning in Your Wind by Michael Lee Johnson

I Feel Lightning in Your Wind

Michael Lee Johnson

I feel light in a thunderstorm.

I electrify your touch through my veins.

I’m the greenery around your life

that breathes your earth into your lungs.

I challenge all your false decisions and doctrines

with the glory of my godliness.

I’m your syntax, your stoic,

your ears, your prize.

I walk daylight into your morning breath

allow you to breathe.

I let the technique of me into your brain cells;

from the top tip to the bottom

of small baby foot extensions.

I’m the banquet hall of all

your joys, damnation;

your curses, your emotions—

and you’re breathing with the wind.
