black lightening

have you ever seen black lightening
striking down on green grasses
clay surfaces
tearing across cement

Venus rolls across the court
with lotioned bronze legs
serving up 100 mile an hour balls of fire
poker face with every pounding
striking down anyone in her path

Serena returns with sharp fury
blond haired quickness
muscles rippling
she waits like the quiet executioner
with only a racket
she sears the competition with electricity

have you ever seen black lightening
among white faces of disbelief
two sisters
black angels of grace and fury
bring thunder storms new meaning
