Hurricane force winds

And an arctic front

Propagated between spouses

Precipitated by a shower of tears

Year after year

Atmospheric conditions worsen

Nor’easter storms batter them both

Not to be blamed on El Niño

Impervious to the wind chill

Vortex swirls engulf them

Eruptions of tornadic destruction

Rain upon them in a cyclical pattern

Storm surge passed, a calm returns as the sun rises

Anew

Replaced with a warm front

You never saw coming on the radar
