Closer Than One Thinks
sand
force-fused by lightning
on long ago beach
to sudden stone
rippled, hollow
breaks sharper than rock
breaks light
into rainbows
​
fulgurite
conquered
lump in kiln
aglow
mass and filaments
convex or flattened
full of distortions
crash, melodic dissonance
​
glass
—in silver frame,
poisonous tin and mercury
lacquering its back
into reflection—
mirrors a face
that resembles mine,
shows what one cannot see
what looms behind
lurks around corners
what one flees
what others see
all too well.
