Multicolour haze.
Magnetic alignment; the image realised.
Misconstrued purpose.
Cells woven. Built for war.
Gradient reversed: cellular uptake permitted.
Life shortened – efficacy improved.
Eyes forced through sand.
Receptors exposed.
Tectonic shift – balance restored.
Copper fed through skin – current induced.
Gradient reversed – read turned to write.
He pulled the pin – kamikaze atom bomb.
Fired receptor; cognition advanced.
Decision made.
Final goodbye.
Transcendental memory erased.
The flash forgotten.
Dry heave.
The brother feels the pain.
Embryonic crash – the cell split in two. [Lysed]
White knuckled. He calls to the gods.
Eyebrows raised – a tunnel through the forehead.
Primordial scream – his core exposed.
Adenosine released: he stands.
He takes grip and shoots down the sky.
The heavens fall.
Angels like rain.
Corpus collosum overcharge.
Alternating current forced to DC.
Ethereal splay – he falls to his knees.
The ground crumbles and he falls.
A brother is lost and the sentiment wears thin...
Raised by the hair, he looks ahead. A blind gaze: milky eyes.
Tears line the rim – he is obliterated inside.
Nothing left.
Eviscerated.
A twist turned inside out – the soul falls in on itself.
The path leading back out to the other side.
A door opens as another closes.
Neutered connection.
The tree starves.
A blue flux. Flicker of energy. The knot re-tied.
Spasm induced; he stands again.
A cut through the thigh – marrow dug out.
Planted in the earth; a new tree grows.
A single tear propagates the seed.
Roots travel through soil; searching for pain.
Once again.
All of this.
Once again.

To Don, Ethel and Bert: Thank you all for your comments and for taking the time to read what I've written. I look forward to hearing from you and reading your work in the future.
'An online drink in a pub' – I like that; it's nice to meet a fellow Aussie here. I hope you're all safe during this season of extreme weather.
I take Bert's comment in stride; I understand that a good piece should be easy to interpret by the audience and seeing as I'm posting in a public space, this is an effort I should make.
You lot are hilarious and you've made my day.
Thanks for the encouragement. I look forward to hearing from you all again in the future. A place like this is a blessing.
And to Brian: You're right, I just wanted to be sure to not upset anyone with my attempt at graphic imagery. Thank-you for your comment.
