When Lightning Strikes
A Beautiful Destruction
By Nicole WesterhousePublished 4 years ago • 1 min read
the fire hit bone
igniting within
as if my very soul was ablaze
a spectacle
and then ash
i was told it only happens once
an instant spark
and a quick death
they didn't mention
the pain
the convulsion
the twisted agony of a single moment
i wasn't told how it ends
yet alone that it could happen
again and again
lightning striking
igniting
destroying
i'm a corpse already
what more could be left in the flames?

I'm thirty.
Damn, that hurts to type, but there it is.
Not much of note.
I suppose I should say "yet."
Makes it sound like I'm going places.
