The unbearable softness of lightning (Re-write 5/15/25)
The unbearable softness of lightning the caress of shattering light fear, desire, and beauty breathing fire and brittle air tasting ozone with our souls 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 from anger burn down the words the cuts too deep our eyes too full of clouds fire from our hearts seeking each other's throats reveling in the pain our world full of chaos and ruin that I might hold once more the unbearable softness of lightning
