busy"Atomic Wanderers"
When the bomb burst,
those caught in the core of it
had no time to realize
the transition between life and death.
They went into the light
and found themselves trapped
between energy and matter,
their bodies reduced
to slender shades on the walls,
their spirits pinned like butterflies.
They watched the years roll past
in a thin grey blur, day and night
without meaning now, time
smeared beyond understanding,
as the lost souls wandered the cosmos
with the ashes that had once been earth.
At last entropy came to them
when the universe wound down,
freeing each lost soul with a soft kiss,
pulling them into a big crunch
as painful and joyful
as any death, as any birth.
Entropy breathed out with a bang
and all was a boil of brilliance,
day without night,
no mote of darkness
in which dreams might take seed.
This handful of souls remembered
what it was to be flesh and fire,
shadows blossoming into light,
so they became a nuclear family
and the stars opened their eyes
as the newborn universe
began to cool around them.
