Death-roe

~

stubbled with a wry smile

darkened character lays smudged

a charcoal embrace of humanity

burnt offerings?

run..yes..run

legs no longer capable

touched with a Pharoah's kiss

aorta turns to sand

a glass sun shines

magnifying the illusion

brittle warmth falls

upon Mother's broken back

death throes of a planet

resonate as we rape

visceral spillage erupts

as corporations corrupt

empires come and gone

a self-indulgent throng

consuming it's own swansong

trumpeting in the final furlong

the glass orb shatters

as particle matters

rains down shards

pitter patter

the end of the rape

civilizations agape

skies shine opaque

death throe of the ape
