before / after

 before / after


    a point in the line of time 

    so dark it draws the eye

    a shudder of a door slammed 

    so hard the portraits fall

    a slash and burn

    so complete the inferno devours itself

    the edge of a razor

    so sharp it eviscerates whole words

not normal / normal

     unthinkable / thinkable

     intolerable / tolerable

    it creates an alien world that looks

    uncannily familiar

maybe not better / maybe not worse

but definitely, definitively

  different

those two f’s like parallel lines (parallel worlds)

      like two daggers, tips pointed down

    warriors’ hands on hilts

     blades not unsheathed

    but ready
