The Flood

Energy abounds
Between voltage and the spark
Who dares to enter?

This space between teems
Who dares enter, who could leave?
Unchanged by these tides?

This distance between
A chasm that grows itchy
As it grows wider

An itch not felt here
Resonant echo of years
Felt everywhere else

So it is tonight
Until her and my eyes meet
Smelling the roses

Scratch and breathe deeply
Or knock and cross this threshold
The door locking soon

Fist clenched, standing ground
Even as the dam gives way
Fourteen years past due

Water rushes forth
Marianas, Grand Canyon
It's the same to me.
