The Force of Change

when lightning hits the water
straight is its force
direct to the nova
direct to the centre
plummeting downwards to the spinal seam -
piercing

deep incision displaces reality
this is now
the utterance loud and long
super nova
super charger
super novice clad in white
lamb to the slaughter
the arrow, shrill in its persistence
strikes its target hard
double impact
compacting soft comfortable images
and yet onwards it drives.
tearing it rides
piercing
no waiting now, the target is exposed
the vulnerable inner space
the un-intruded space
known but still hidden

known but still

birth-mewing…….
