Character Poems: the Chosen through Time
25. Shibayama Junpei
He winced as the thunder
cracked again, then shook his head.
He had made a mistake in staying
He thought, or someone else had made
the mistake of giving him the storm
to wield
when he'd sooner cower under his bed
and hide from it
But with the storm in hand he could not help
but fight, and fight he did, with zaps of lightning
and whips of thunder cracking the sky
and even when the lights went out he found a voice
calling out to him, a place to aim, to reach
a charged-up fist
And slam it strong
into the restraint earth.
