what's in a watershed?

A tiny pill 

of compressed chemicals

between me and a migraine

Three little letters 

a single syllable 

between puppet and puppeteer 

a molecule too many 

now you’re Fukashima’d

churning beneath Chernobyl 

a step out of time

Take these particles

arrange them just so

now you have a wormhole 

Being able to see your breath in the cold

is just a temperature differential 

( the ephemeral made visible )

a measurement of degrees 

Like a spark 

in a spoken word 

we have always had the power

to burn this village to the ground

( to unmake everything )
