Aftershock
You are a secret weapon-
don't hear it, don't see it
don't even know it's there until
you hear the sound of a thousand thunderheads...
- And then the after shock-
Changes everything.
The landscape, color of the skies,
how a person sees-
And once that bomb explodes -
you can never, ever shake
off the radiation

* This is actually supposed to be an extreme
expression of awe.
I just read this poets work- just blew me away.
Pay attention to your surroundings, friend,
and you will know who you are.
