Creation in a snapshot

 

I look up

and see

planets colliding,

like worn down love,

crushed,

smashed

into dust.

Stars erupting,

fizzing out

like gas from

a coke bottle

that’s been shaken up,

tossed about,

like hope discarded, 

when there

is no saviour in sight.

 

I see asteroids mourn the loss

of planets, comets cry for the masses.

I hear angels sigh, and demons ask why,

I see the atmosphere

crash into the earth and die.

In a blink of an eye,

I remember a single teardrop.

Just one lost drip

in an ocean overflowing,

and I wish,

oh, I wish for it to all stop.

 

For just a second.

I witness

the whole of creation

in a snapshot.

A photograph

of reality

blurring away,

replaced by chaos.

Fragmental pieces,

pain, stuck in place,

like a cracked glass surface,

before it fully breaks.

 

Then it speeds up,

into overdrive,

I see

in fast forward,

the gasses

combust.

Then nothing.

Just vast

emptiness.

My heart as it beats

its lone rhythm.
