With Coral Eyes

When you struck me,i vibrated like a kettle drum then as smaller percussions and repercussions echoing from all the glassy surfaces creating a balletic geometry of sound tracks in space and time. When you knocked me down, I fell against her and her and her; we were like a row of skittles and we all went down with the lifeboat; the infinite chain of being is. When you hit me,the Fall spread across the world Now there is no Vertical All is undivine and graceless. By the Rod it's ruled When you left me,I left myself,the world,the rocks,dry land I weighed down sank to the ocean bed with coral eyes gazing. When you struck my mind I became an instrument of a foreign power Singing a song I didn't kmow. When the glass was smashed the splinters flew into all our hearts. You didn't know what we couldn't see. I lay on barren ground and gave birth To my own Creator in the desert. He was not dead at all. But you killed him.
