• Pregnant clouds ride stately on its back, gathering to perch on hills like dark sinister wings
• The Wind whistles by and trees bend to let it pass
• In the village, screams of delighted children toss and turn in the din of the whirling wind
• Women, babies clinging on their backs, dart about in and out madly as the Wind whirls by, whilst trees bend to let it pass
• Clothes wave like tattered flags, flying off to expose dangling breasts
• Jagged blinding flashes, Nature taming Black
• Rumble, tremble, and crack, amidst the smell of fired smoke and the pelting march of the storm
