Light & Lines: Jispa

Sometimes light unfolds, 

and other times it strikes.

Like lightning, 

a severe and devastating light

can split a thing in two. 

It rakes its jagged saw 

across the thing,

It severs asunder

what was and what is, 

what would have been and what shall be.

Rarely does such a light

ever strike the same thing twice.
