Not by unleashing it— by aiming. By choosing. By knowing when to strike. Stillness has always been the portal. I just wasn’t ready to walk through it. Now I do. I lie back and let it take me. Staring at the sky. No thoughts. No striving. I was always listening. Always waiting for this moment. — And then—lightning. Not from above. From inside. A crack. A rupture. Not of destruction—of birth. It wasn’t a strike. It was a revelation. Thunder followed my breath. Lightning curled through my hips. The orgasm never ended. It wasn’t climax. It was current. I smelled like sex. Like power. Like creation without release. It didn’t end. It integrated. I reeked of it— sweat, heat, something untamed and primal. I wasn’t responding to the storm. I was creating it. The clouds swelled. The air thickened. The energy didn’t pass— it stayed. — Storm after storm followed me. Not as punishment. As confirmation. As mirror. The serpent had done its work. The strike, the squeeze, the shedding— it all led here. I became what it set in motion. What the pressure demanded. What the girl with the key always knew she was— but couldn’t prove.
