for climate change

A lonely river
tenement of skull
passing by in drains of hysteria
stinking fish heads floating.

Clouds of turbid silence
Grey spectrum edging
closer to mother earth
toxins burning with rage.

Men, coarse and still
slow the ebb of change
smoke rises in cosmic swells
sheltering the dead trees.

Mists, black and Grey
flow in hastened pace
streams of rotten corpses
liver, heart, mangled brain.
The waves calmly slip in,
withered in solitary bliss,
the softness of the sand
lets them in.

I hear,the noise
the grinding of little pebbles
fighting to rewind
while being swept away

Sun sinking down
into dungeons unknown
watery catacombs weaving
in and out, out and in.

Behold, darkness sublime
a lampshade of quietness
seeping like urine
out of a tired catheter

I am engulfed
in rivers of moonlight
their flow malignant
like a charred scrotum.
