"Good Morning, World!"

Tag: Silver Shower of Lights

IT’S HERE

The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:00pm

I speak with a forked tongue

out of both sides

of My Mouth

polished teeth gleaming

I am The Devil

to Whom I give no credence

I am set to announce

The Second Coming

not of Christ

but of Global

Darkness

set before The Light

At The End Of My Journal

The Hawk West Desk Window 6:34pm

My Famous Shower Of Lights

was not blinding

Its Radiant Spears

Snapped Me To Attention

and Made Me See

For An Eternity

ANATOMY OF A SHOWER

The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:15pm

Sprung from a Cathedral Ceiling

in a House of 2000 Years

I sat below

rapid-fire spears of Silver Light

speechless

but for The Exclamation:

“Oh My God”

“OH MY GOD”

“OH MY GOD!!!”
