Time & Foreboding

 

species dwindle and fade

trapped in a proliferation

of weeds and algae

hypoxic

or they overheat

and drop from the sky

onto blowing debris

and pooling sands

they succumb to the plow

and the paver

and slowly vanish

and how will we go under

buy the farm

bite the dust

we have uncoupled time

from the seasons

and find ourselves

inside of an unraveling...

will we migrate

to the final safe places

wherever they may be

and await our fate?
