The Explosion

From a position

Distant,

I saw an object

Plunge

Through the sky

Downward

And to my right.

From a position

Distant,

I saw a person

Run

On a path

Forward

And beneath me.

From a position

Distant,

I saw the object

Explode

In the path

Below

And underneath me.

From a position

Distant,

I saw the person

Thrown

On the ground

Backward

And to my left.

From a position

Distant

I saw the person

Rise

From the earth

Toward

The explosion.
