Storm names
The bods at the met office had spent all year getting creative
vis a vis storms.
While constrained within the A-Z naming convention
They’d stretched their minds in the direction
Of back stories and motivation.
Not everyone would know that Tilly and Wren were sisters
Or that Naoise’s winds hid raven-black hair
and snow-white skin
and cheeks red like calf-blood
Or that Storm Mavis was named after the Coronation Street Character.
But the storms would know
And they would cause their destruction with more care
Having been given the gift of a reason to blow.
