Aftermath

There’s this wall of closure that I can see building up

A tsunami towering higher the closer it comes

Metric tons of blue, willful muscle

Tumbling on in mindless harmony

The Doppler Effect is coming full-tilt

Sirens blare

Overloading my senses with the imminence

The inevitability

I stand here on the beach that extends past the coastal town streets

What the reporters and blog guru's don’t tell you

And feel the rumble

And just as I smile

A stitch forms in my chest

I’m ready for it to crash down

But I guess I’m not so ready for everything that it will take

Culling the loose and the unfastened

And wiping clean

All that I can no longer hold Is that a new beginning doesn’t feel so sweet

When it’s you 

Standing alone

In the aftermath
