Natalie Callum

NEBRASKA

The whole of Nebraska
‌            was sky. Reeds bending
‌                       to sky, red tails
‌                                  drifting, darkness inking,
‌                                            white lines breaking
sky.

The horizon surged
‌            in silent streaks, the storm
‌                        so distant. Heat unheard. Driving,
‌                                  we kept driving. Lightning
‌                                            disappeared as sky
unfolded

to sky unfolded
‌            to new light falling. Meteors
‌                        scattering dust. We fell
‌                                  silent, the shower of earth-
‌                                             bound bodies
filling with heat.

Natalie Callum is a writer and poet living between St. Louis, Missouri and Wyoming. When she is not writing, she can be found outside free-climbing and exploring with her much beloved husband. Her work is forthcoming in Amethyst Review.
