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.

Trailing a streamers
Diffracted host
Shapes its signature,
Optical ghost.

Someday run
A fuse, begun
Drives –
The pressure
Of a raging sun.
