Twilight Zone
2021
A raucous sound echoes from above
Ravens circle a smoldering sky
Grass turned brown, withering under
The sun, a vengeful fiery eye
Ash floats with the breeze
Enough to taste the acrid earth
The land given a heated lashing
Scorched by wicked mirth
Such are the sights and sounds and smells
Of a world born anew
Not into light and love and laughter
But darkness impossible to eschew
