faster than lightning
there are caves
sand-floored recordings of sea noise
did you see the eagle
i know you didn't -
you're asleep, it wasn't a dream
faster than breath or blink
or the space between heartbeats
hammering with panic
after learning the world is fragile
afterwards weeping
could make glue strong enough
to bind it back how it was
everything normal hurts now
spiked, edged new
time heals, they say, but time has ended
