she laid waste, like nuclear love does
From her lips washed away the pain
This mourning brought new life, but
I was crazy to hope
Countdown to my doom
Why did you call
Me a Star
I’m your
Bomb

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.

Ooh that end question is beautifully dark - comparing 'star' to 'bomb' - very well done!
A strong poem with a strong ending, and I ask the same question as you.
Jeez. But don’t they both just blind you?
Oooo, a bomb! I've always loved the idea of being a walking bomb. This was soooo awesomeeee!
Love it.
This is a great one!!
This is excellent, my friend. I especially love the ending.
Ohhhh this one could be a winner! Grabbed me with the first line and wouldn't let go. I rolled around in the first line for a good while!
Oh those last few lines! Damn, that was really clever!! I've had one started with a noticeably similar word choice that's in here, which is kinda cool and weird, lol!
The last four lines are explosive Sis
Powerful!
