"This short work is a conversation between Storm and Lightning. Storm is an elegant, knowledgeable patient woman. Lightening, is a trickster type stylie, craxysexycool girlish woman who talks somewhat in riddles and rhyme. At the beginning of their conversation they are waiting for Wind, Rattling Wings and the other Thunder People. Together, they need to make an appearance at the Sundance.

 

The elements are running late. The wait turns into waiting for justice in the abstract"
