How the Air Crackles

       How the very air
       c-r-a-c-k-l-e-s
       when she 
       steps into a room

       like silver
       stilettos
       ravaging stinging insects 

       splitting every second

She sounds like she makes quite an entrance whether she’s real or imaginary. Great imagery, Gershon. Shalom u’vrakha:)
