Refraction

not just light passes from one transparent substance into another

taken by

the tiny shards

an imploded exploding

house of cards

every sacred

slivered flash

every hated

silvered dash

- - - >

a shower

of furious pieces

a thousand

glorious faces

every wasted

moment captured

every hastened

glisten flattered

< - - -

a shatter

of many varied reflections

sent scattered

in many differing directions

every second

fetched and finite

every reflex

stretched to fight

> - - -

this trap, this torrent

ready to spring

it has come to take

every thing

every twitch

in every jaw

every quiet battle

in this noisy war

- - - <

temporarily shrouded

backhanded mention

sly vapour clouded

in a self wrought tension

and every single

bloody time

forever crossing

every line
