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.
