DevastationA Poem by Fairieswithscales
I imagine a day where I open my mouth and razor blades are falling out
I hold out my arms Like hands in a thunderstorm And the little metal raindrops Slice me in the downpour Clouds shaped like lips Claim to be God With each rap of thunder That screams from within them Turning tears to rain Turning razor blades to hail And suddenly Mother Nature is bleeding all over the place This is not the end of times This is not the rapture This is the rupture of a volcano that has been dormant for years Surprising and unsettling to everyone around it The news papers were titled Devastation When the bridges have burned And the ashes have cleared I lie awake and alone Amidst the destruction Still bleeding Still burning Yet everyone but me Has been demolished © 2020 Fairieswithscales |
