Don’t Leave

A storm is standing on a needle.
Don’t breathe or move a muscle.
There will be no tomorrow.

The wind is stalled by its own weight.
Don’t open any doors or windows.
Don’t step out into any fields.

The lightning is held in brightness.
Don’t turn on your lights.
Don’t activate even a flashlight.

Along a dark shore
Hail is sealed in stones.
Don’t shatter a glass. Don’t leave.
