some god with torrential mist for skin
looked down on the river
and decided to sweep his arm
downstream and obliterate
the whole scene
suddenly
what was at first a warming
advance of pale grey a wall of rain
was upon us with tempestuous
gouging winds and tree grasping fists
it lashed us with water from the sky
and water ripped from the river
with ever increasing frightening blasts of wind
lightning screamed mute in the torrent that
rocked houses and tossed treetops

This cookie is quite harmless; however, it saves a list of your favourite posts on this site. Up to 99 of your favourites will appear on your computer only, in the list to the right, on the device that has the cookie. Note that favourites saved on one device will not be favourites on others, and that clearing your cookies will clear that particular device's list.
I am not sure about this, but the favourites list should work, even if you are not a subscriber. I know that it does work for subscribers.
