before the thunder

you hear
the horses
coming
before you see
them, the rise
of dust from
the road
that curves below
the field.
you see the hats
of the men
tilted down
to shadow their
faces from
the high sun
leaving
before the storm
moves in.
you hear
the horses
before you
see them.
the lightning
before the thunder.
