Ribs up, breath held for years at a time. Brief exhales with lightening bugs on summer nights. Forever believing, I am always only what you see.
None of us saw the viper lying in wait. Lulled into thoughts of safety by the stillness of boats and steadiness of the ground painted on the picture above the coach.
Do you know who I am?
Tidal wave, volcano, whirlpool, tornado, hailstorm.
Thick drops fall from fingertips, you think it’s blood. It sizzles and burns, no veins have been opened, you see it is lava. Structures shift, fractured, and the lava follows its trail to you.
Grey and fragile ghosts, only ashes remain of you.
Soft mist, caressing breeze, delicate snowfall.
I am no longer what you saw, I am everything you could not.
