sense of shock (EtherPoem)

In the moments after I leave my home, I feel a sense of shock. This is not some ambivalent, final mood. I have just left a reason.

I walk.

I see a wave of light.

It is the moment of my capture. The moment of my capture of my home. I gaze at the light. A tiny ray of light descends from the sky and replaces the sky itself. It is that tiny ray of light that I carry with me.
