Aftershocks

A thunderclap never truly dies, instead

It bores itself deep into places unseen; 

Into a hopeful boy’s DNA 

And it grows with his skin. 

A thunderclap never dies, 

it lives on in echoes; 

In screams, in shouts heard 

From across the span of the world 

… 

And they rip apart precious things 

Like a stone pitched violently into the future. 

Towards something beautiful like a painting. 

Really, I must confess 

A thunderclap never dies 

Because it remakes itself; 

A thunderclap never dies 

Because it is alive in this poem.
