Atomic Shadow: What Remains
Behind me
I stood
Shaded empty
My body knew only darkness
And subtle imitations
Of myself
But last night
As lights grew
From what rained down
And blew up my house
I woke up sleeping
Etched to the streets
The flashing flame
burned me free from myself
I needed no body
Nor light to exist
I remained on the street
Even when light turned to smoke
And smoke into mushrooms
Even when colored skies turned black
I still remained
Ahead laid ash
Behind I stayed unmoving
Remembering what was
Trapped in what is
For gods wrath rained last night
But i stood
By myself
Shaded empty
