The unbearable softness of lightning

the caress of shattering light

fear, desire, and beauty
breathing fire
and brittle air
the metal taste of ozone

I sensed what was coming
a primal fear
an omen of doom
of a spirit tightly coiled
eyes peering from the storm

to turn back anger
burn down the words
the cuts too deep
our eyes full of clouds

fire from our hearts
seeking each other's throats
reveling in the ruins
that I can hold once more

the unbearable softness of lightning
