when the moment of recognition came

an aura of discernable energy descended from the heavens
enrobing the girl with its glory
enveloping the immediate neighbourhood
with a breathless otherly bliss

and she waits there
scanning the cloud darkened sky
waiting for some kind of crack in the firmament
to reveal her to both herself and to the world

she was being encircled with the silence that always accompanies awe
as the moment was being unfolded to her
replacing her desperation
with a grin of epiphany

that’s where things start to move confusedly around that point
the aura encircling her as she watched for the moment
which bursts out of the sky
still clouded with the agony of expectation

the crack continually unfurling
and being replaced

movement got sticky at that moment
words starting to eat themselves
giving birth to themselves
backwards

the moment of recognition coming
bathing all in preunion sanctity

as it died
and the girl lost motivation
words fishflopping at the bottom of the boat
