Welcome to the Church of Atom

Atom’s holy fire raging wild running wryly over pastures brighter even than the sun

breaking freely over under pottery aglaze of it, intended for the fire of a higher calling

and with it cracks the cross a nonce a petty show of faith unto the self

breathing

thunderous weights undoing low-lying years of petty manifesting, all of it

decaying faster falling upwards toward the ceiling of a limit known

intended for the fall of what of when whence why and how

a falter! a birth! all quiet

randomly decaying

plotted across the graph

random but outspoken

bursts of light and lightning

showering sparks of grace

feed it by the minute

power to call the race

arcs and cries of heaven

echo and rumble, still

Atom in your embrace

I find myself again

fallen like a child

calibrate and update

take your time, don’t falter

the limit will follow

never before, never

always and always more

back in time’s face

its penetrating force

a blind fury unknown

only to those afeared

slow and steady, unmatched!

once now, twice until then

the counter counts its mark

warm and familiar

boiling gently still

caressed like mother sun

For all its worth a fire light, Atom

Falling and climbing shots of bright Atom

The forge can fire all night in wonder

Can the stars all be wished alight, Atom

In cries of its power and of lightning

does it fix its home there beside Atom?

To tear and to birth all in one motion

Is the end of all now in sight Atom?

Magically structured, never out of place

Must it really come to die, my Atom?

Never forever, and only in time

Intense and ardent, is it crime, Atom?

A light like no other, sequence on fire

Is gold all that comes from thee fine Atom?

Empowered and shuttered, gone like a lie

never to end, never to die, Atom
