Of startled voices
And the reaching hands of children
Anger and steam and hurt
Burn in you and turn to rage
The sudden burst of energy
The sudden fright of calm
The sudden breath of electricity
Shot through every cell
And webbed through your tissue
The faces of the ones you loathed
Mix with the ones you loved
And all the beings that you have known
And all the feeling you have even reached
Are shattered and bleached
clean of the soil that made them
foul with the cold sweat
Of an unnamed beast
Just as they left them
Just as the light was broke
Into startling waves of color
And bleeding through the dark
Was the chill it gave you
Was the feeling of virtue
Lost and forgot till then
What a difference does it make
If you were shattered by your mind
The feeling of the blind
Encased your tongue and thought
What a difference does it make
If you realize your mistake
If you realize the belated effect
The land mine of a catalyst
Broke down in mid destruction
Of the cavalry sent for your end
To be lost in mid function
Take it now and leave them to rest
Your end was a heavy test
Your end was a catalyst
Your mind was a catalyst
Just waiting to be preset
