Divine Intervention
this is what she has been waiting for,
an answer, finally delivered,
splitting her body as she
rips herself open then inside out /
becoming someone new as
lightening barrels through the air
whole and sublime / breaking
into her flesh and towards
the dark ground, entwined with
thunderous octaves that parts her lips
/ sound and fury escaping
through her throat — ragged
but free.
