Creating Thunder

I am thunder

the wavelength of

afterthought

in the wake of

an atmosphere rending

strike of a life

⌁₊˚⊹ ⊹˚₊⌁

She was lightning

tree splittingly quick

sand meltingly hot

God’s crackling finger

reached from heaven

to stir the pot

⌁₊˚⊹ ⊹˚₊⌁

The deafening reaction

a roaring rejection

an outpouring of malediction

disintegrated

at the point of meeting

a heated clamor

bludgeoning the air as proof

⌁₊˚⊹ ⊹˚₊⌁

So, I was born in her

destructed poof

bits and pieces of debris

reconstructed in the

consumed image

a photo-mosaic of

humanity

shreds of everyone who

isn’t the brokenly wicked

former me
