The Big Bang

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

Wonderful imageries.

you managed to cover the two possible senses of the title
witty and intellegent images--
good write!
