Today’s word is “brontide” ... bron-tahyd ... a rumbling noise heard occasionally in some parts of the world, probably caused by seismic activity. (Dictionary.com)
Past
Broken hearted, wandering,
ignored by man and beast.
Cart in hand, picking breakfast
from the ground.
On occasion, resting, little dog in hand,
on the median. Waiting.
For a coin or two. Enough to keep
body and soul together
for one more day.
Sometimes with a sign. But he is a sign ...
like a brontide, announcing
the confusion of our hearts.
