for WaK

thunder tonight

i'll never hear thunder without
thinking of him

that night

i was listening to his show
(we were in the chat room)
when WaK left the room and
a few seconds later
everything went silent

i didn't hear for a week
(not the first time)

sitting there playing music
it was not the thunder
that burned your computer
but lightning

thunder now
outside
and a flash of light

but you came back
you always came back
and i am hoping
this time...

well, anyway
i'm signing off
till the thunder stops
