Crimson clouds churning
Balefire for the deeds of man
The judge fuming

A sunset out my window
Will night extinguish the clouds?

The author's comments:
The White Throne is a biblical allusion to the Great White Throne Judgement in Revelation 20:11-15. This is when the Judeo-Christian God is believed to judge the deeds of mankind. When I wrote this, I looked out my window and pretty much say the apocalypse in the sunset. (A tanka poem.)
