earth

black smudge against blue.
a dart across horizon.
feathered fins in air.

blue cold as a knife.
sun scarring across its face.
beaten blue to black.

the world wet and sad.
covered cold with white blanket.
take a torch to it.

soft dents in white snow.
night walkers quiet and slow.
hopping rabbit go.

grayscale world by eye.
living in a dreary past.
pile it high to burn.

two leaves in a pot.
white, green, black the water wet.
the fountain of youth?
