A lightning bolt

Cracks and creases

It skirts the skyline

And it lingers; cold

Slim, twig like

It burns, it burns, then it’s gone

It struck me down

And cut my side right open

Hold all the pieces

That last a lifetime

A life gone; recalled

Left lost with mesmeric

It hurts and it burns, then we’re gone

It struck me down

And cut my side right open

Hold all the pieces

That last a lifetime
