Image: Cruising aimlessly
11 of 12 given words:
naked pain tighten sparrow electrify wait
kudoclasm (feels like your life is flashing before your eyes, but it’s actually the opposite)
somaticize (verb - to convert (anxiety) into physical symptoms)
aberrant (behavior departs substantially from the norm of a group)
shaft (a long vertical passage sunk into the earth, as for a mine or tunnel)
deadbolt (a type of lock that you need a key to open)
Misconstrued of his naked intentions
Just cruising around to while away his time
Pain in his heart to be witnessing how
it tightened around the sparrow's neck
A flash in the darkened night
At the spot it was electrified
A kudoclasm imposed in a long wait
to be somaticized with a sudden force
Life and death snuffed out in aberrant fashion
Shoved in a manner into a shaft of emptiness
How a wayward little bird met its end in the dark
There was no necessity of a deadbolt
to provide a clean passage of demise

Life can be snuffed out in the blink of an eye, whether little birds or humans.

ReplyDeleteThose words are jaw-breakers! Well done for placing them in context of your poem.
ReplyDeletePoor little bird, it goes so quickly.
ReplyDeleteThis is soo heartbreaking :(
ReplyDeleteWhat an intense moment you drew for a poor little bird. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteDid I just read a bird killed by lightning? Or a car? Either way, he never knew what hit him.
ReplyDeleteThe thought of death being snuffed out gave me pause... I'm not sure I've ever thought of it.
ReplyDeleteWow! Well done!
