from a bad place

this probably isn't the best place to start off a blog, but this is where i am . . .

delete
the emptiest electrons
taking up space in cyberspace
up in virtual smoke
from a few keystrokes
but remain
the void
streaked red and slowly crusting
words which seemed to separate from meaning
for you
whispers of almost were
become taunting laughter
so inside
unleash the churning, incandescent rivers
to burn the land
leaving scant kipuka
and rushing to the kai
to leave steam
which streaks the sky
