Broken Shutter

a spark of fire
from the devil's forge,
a meteorite cut

from an unknown planet.
the memory of God
drawn on cave walls...

a nuclear blast,
dust forms from formless!
the heretic's trial,

fire and defiance.
cold rain falling like needles
to the frozen ground.

darkness and light;
evolve and change....
the human heart opens,

wolves howl, babies cry.
the wind blows a broken shutter
against an empty house!
