Note: This writing is part of the From Silence to the Cosmic Abyss cluster in my BetweenSparks project.
Read the full cluster on Wattpad.
As flowers blast into bloom,As snails rush to random dooms:
Hawks fly high with skinny bones.
A fly on a microphone.
Pin drops next to ants.
And butterflies dance.
Spider spins a nest,
Next to where you rest...
As dusk creeps away to dawn,
As the mist dries on the lawn:
Metal dragons flying high;
Ashes crawling through the sky
Plastics in food forms...
Roaches in the dorms.
Flies hit the windshield.
Roadkill lying still.
Once, quiet fracks into cracks;
Now it leaks into the creeks.
Wrappers free-style in the wind;
On their way to the ocean's spin.
Fish eat bits of styrofoam;
Neuro-connections of 'know'.
The last bee pollinating the flower;
Choosing to over-consume their value.
As flowers blast into bloom,
As snails rush to random dooms;
As dusk creeps away to dawn,
As the mist dries on the lawn;
As we speak we are silent of it all,
As our silence is worse than the fall.
