Like a storm cloud –
On the darkest, day of a days
A shuttering thunder, from deep away
A sharp eruption, from dull decay
A quickening crack, to full astray

Then explosion –
From an anger,
On full display.

Unseen visions
Scream –
Through our past
Screened,
By a future
Unreal –
And unlashed.

Burst frame precision
Distorted –
By rage
Re-plans its destruction
Through a formation,
Rampage.

A halcyon silver
Shakes the night
A grudging sky
A spirit light

A shadow ghost
A shaking sight
Through darkshine signs
Of unnerving, bright.

Angle right visions
Curve –
Through the night
Sending whispers of color
To conserve –
It’s arc light.

Change –
The erosion of time
A thicket of energy
Through a compounded crush
Of a pressured –
Exchange.

Excited, false vistas
Imagining, their state
Reflect, a pareidolia
When deciding,
To create.

Masking via motion
Moving offset night
Magnificent – interactions
From a spiritual,
Sunset light.

Preserved, by a vision
Reserved, through its cloak
Is a focused – viral mission
To conserve,
Ionized smoke.
