Days are blurring

life feels wrong

tiny droplet

atomic bomb


Little ember

burning bright

stinging smoke

obscuring light


Tiny weapon

devastates

sickness, death

does not abate


Inner workings

lonely graves

all will die

both weak and brave


Enormous burst

of blades colliding

keening screams

and world dividing


Once you stumble

twice you trip

the roof falls in

the lifelines, snipped


World goes dark

nothing left to see

so much pain in

a second-long

eternity
