Life's End
"only you can prevent wildfires"
An eye emerges like a thought
A slither of an idea
That bubbles into something more
A reddish orange hugging a
Yellow that's yellower than the yellowest yellow
-
There are no colors that have ever shined brighter
No heat that sizzles louder
Rippling and swimming through oxygen
Or carbon dioxide
I don't know
I'm not a scientist
-
It is a wanderer
An expansive beast
All encompassing
Swallowing Earth
Gobbling purgatory
Clamoring at clouds
Leaping to the east
Hurdling over the west
-
Fed by the arid
A soulmate of calamity
Barbarity's playmate
-
What we once boasted
Is falling to ash
All things cowering and melting
-
We are witnessing life's end
Like children transfixed on a campfire
Unaware that the entire forest is ablaze
