Screaming Of This Hour

There's no stopping it now.
Rushing
Ripping
Tearing fiber
Shredding steel machines
Digging bulldozing ravaging
Stripping to the soft center
the molten lava
Flowing, burning all it touches
Sinking deep into steaming red soup
Choking one spoonful at a time
Healing, multiplying white blood cells
Magnifying, seeing body rebuild
Strengthening, life flushed into a face once pale as snow
Storming, pure white blizzard
Piling, drifts higher that houses
Melting, green shoots fighting
Pushing to survive, to grow, to soak the sun
Shining, brilliant blazes,
Scorching, burning dry desert sand storms
Choking, taste of dirt.
Calming, still.
Dripping, rain water floods.
Can you see it?
Magnificent
Microscopic
Outer space
Quantum energy
DNA
Cosmic
Radioactive
Nuclear
Extra terrestrial
Biological
In the bleeding, breathing, conceiving
Construction, Destruction- resurrection
Lily pads, Tsunamis, Eyelids and embryos
Telephone polls, tadpoles and radios
All created power
All organic material
Screaming of this hour
Massive and overwhelming
Minuscule and barely seeing
Monday to Sunday
Kentucky to Canberra
Black, yellow blue
Red moon, dead sea
Can you see it?
Love driven
Life giving
Tearing to build
Dying to live
There's no stopping it now.
