The Dire Prophecy


The foreshadow approaches,
When the pugilist loses will to fight
When the vampire thirsts for light,
The foreshadow encroaches

The premonition nears
When the activist ignores cause
When the seer can’t see so far
The premonition appears

The augur looms
When the loyalist loses allegiance
When the philosopher abandons reason
The augur brews

The dire prophecy closes in
When the atheist begins to care
When priests abandon prayer
The dire prophecy begins

Yet still, this doesn’t mean
Our world has to end

A Paper Cemetery


A paper cemetery
Misshapen tombs,
Above lands grave
Destined for circular ends

Alar; hollow

Back-stories triggered
By a violent strike of sound

As contrasting marble
Slow dances with shale
A sickened affirmative
Droops its heedlessness

Grapnel; sullied

Ornamental gates
Creaking a minor smear

Lamp-less lanterns flood the rive
As curtails crisscross the skimming sky
