earth

the smear of gray clouds
across the banquet of blue.
mold on happiness.

a time of thunder
rolling across the scarred hills.
foot soldiers of doom.

a pale sad pall
covers the yellowed burnt grass.
the dying worm turns.

the quiet sunday
lollygags before monday.
spiteful lazy day.

the white goose cackles
from behind the wire mesh fence.
blood on the wet block.

whispering wind
upon a sail of clouds.
teasing my ears.
