The Big Bang

It's not the bang

so much

as the anticipation--

the sensitive hairs

in each of your

expectant drums--

your body

retreating into

its seminal

fetal curl

the hands'

feral clawing--

and it all

boils

down to

some histrionic

exploding sun,

and then

quite simply

you're done.
 

Ibbetson Street
