Rapture

Christmas, for instance, has been identified as a heart attack trigger, as have overeating, waking in the early morning, Mondays, job strain, air pollution, using cocaine and living through an earthquake.

White lights twinkling
Roughly cut tree, cranberry garland
Brightly wrapped gifts
Filled with heartache

Beef bourguignon
Bottle of Shiraz, blackberries and oak
Cake layered with chocolate mousse
Dense as darkness

Awakening at first light
Buttery yellow sunrise
Heart singing, then suddenly, silence

Earth shaking
China cabinet clattering
The world trembles
And so do we
