In The Light Glow

 It is tucked into the shield casing
Just a small face peeping eyes coming out
A rabbit out of it's hole
Slowly shining it's light

It's getting closer and closer
Threading itself through the war front
Through the explosions that obscure it
many holes and patches in the earth

it slowly passes over the heads of men
until it is completely obvious to the eye
Rounded and smooth the color of food
The delight among death

That reflects the light of all of those explosions
The makes us believe in something again
it winks like one great big eye at all
it brings that heat we can feel in our own hearts

Distracted and wayward in the attempt to kill
Or to defend as the battlefield uses bullets to soak blood
That light that brings us slowly closer
Now the battlefield has been completely consumed

A quarry of fire and agony
The pressure of a deafening scream compounding
The puppet faced soldiers contributing to the scream
Witch like moment surreal and savage inviting sparks and flames
Bent crooked plume of smoke falling off like a jaw from a face

Broadly expanding over the land like a muscle slowly flexing
Suddenly the ground is flattened everything is gone
there is a tiny loveheart at it's center where burnt cloud emits from
Reflecting the last glow of that fission

As it disappears forever
Behind the new blackness
Behind the pale bodies only partially burnt
You can see it's legacy reflecting

There's only a hint of it in the distance
Where the wall of flame subsided
in the clouded sky above just a hint of it lingers
But it's evident from miles and miles

A sinister sunset
there's only just a hint
Awe breaks out as another nuke is on it's way
To shine it's angelic light on us again

So that when we witness its beauty once again
the survivers can finally perish
in that radioactive dragon fox
A million skulls left clean

A dragon fox that transforms into a sky on fire
Welcoming the oncoming catastrophic explosion 
it's shape folding back into its light
back into it's overpowering uranium flavor

Bringing all the source of it's strength
Bringing in that blinding piercing light
Echoing the sacred rites as the air becomes an inferno
farewelling you through your own unbelieving eyes

Curing itself of the humid land turning all to ember
Burning off every obstruction
The flames catching like cobwebs everywhere
On it's deadly sexy rounded edges

It beams down looking into and recognizing each lost soul
Little people that we are
Dwelling on an unsafe earth
Running from the wave

But it's always ahead ahead ahead
veins in the body boil
The explosion robs the oxygen and humidity
the body is shocked up and down and inside out

here's the bomb and it's howling crests
Howling and opening it's mouth even wider to speak
With it's form disappearing and reappearing
Now the rising cloud is a fiery jumble

expanding quickly a hungry kingdom
enveloping the surrounding land
Bringing the glory of the kingdon to it's own heart
A mad God pulling cataclysmic eruption

Making fire it's servants around it
To tend it's ever increasing needs
To make sure it can consume the land
The way a tyrannical king would gobble pudding
