An explosion of confusion
I had felt it
At work
On top of the bony hill
Just like the real explosion which took 3 lives
Dawning tragedy like the sun
Which warm us and kills us

"What's happened, mom? "
Your voice was potent with raw fear

You my darling boy
Who tugged on my apron strings
Talking to yourself about the wars to come in your mind
Bloodshot with anxiety and fear

In the end, you didn't recognize me at all
You said you wanted to live alone

I saw you closed in with the crazy people
I brought sweets for the nurses

Now you are better

I have cut the cords
And you are flying like a kite

Free in the world

Love you
Love you with my whole heart

Little boy grown man

I won't leave you for a second

In the secret cauldron of our shared butterfly heart

I won't waver

Push the button
Explode it all and clear me down to nothing

Tabula rasa

In the dark light of the moon
You come up
Splitting atoms
Blinding me
You know me
Like the tide knows the shore
