National Poetry Day

Holocene Extinction

We stand on the brink
A billion burning suns
An endless void of midnight

We don’t even stop to think
We are the only ones
When nothing will be alright

Melting ice shelves sink
I can taste your tongue
As the oil wells burn bright

We are the architects of our demise
The snow of ash descends
Our skeletons, embracing, face night
