Staring black-blinded past distance

I am startled by a sudden sub-atomic flare

A tremendous shocking silent tremor

That left and reached at once

Everywhere

In water leaf and rock

Push-back

Seismic wave in space and air

And time to come and past

Distinct but only just

Discernible

Tremble of an eyeball

To a pulse or flutter of miniscus

In a font before the blast.
