those who sinned for a season
stand under arc lights
bathed in glory for all they do right
A seer sneers;
talks about volcanoes
How the flash of brilliance
will show them in shadows…
Where do storms originate?
compressed rage
victims turn in graves
Indignation on a rampage
beyond borders of life
adding more to its tribe
The world outside – ignorant
ground beneath their feet
parts slowly
to reveal
Where does thunder come from?
Where does fire find its might?
Tatsuki’s mega-Tsunami
on the way to meet
delusions of power
Destruction in an hour
