Explosion

Start neutral: pocket watch grey suit white shirt plain tie Grow round a beach ball pumped up, bouncing hollow sound Become a teacher leaching gravitas each word a boulder chalked with holy writ Escape, blaze out and make a show a roman candle lighting up dark skies with silver flurries instantly to die Become a beatnik full of poetry and stars barefoot with ragged levis Sonny Rollins honking in the dark Float high like blossom in a golden light then pirouette to earth, so slow, so slow eternity seeps through before earth brushes me I bruise .... Morgal (23/6/97)
