A Bomb From Somewhere Else

Falling dust makes no sound. You do not see a bomb, you see yourself from the bottom of a crater, but it’s not you, it’s just the smolder of silence. This is only a picture for closed eyes, after you saw the image. An Ohio sky is also a picture. Autumn leaves falling, it’s the air that rustles, the leaves make no sound - yet the earth hungrily eats. Foliage continues to bomb the earth with silence, that silence catches fire beneath closed eyes and you see your body smoldering somewhere else.
