An Offering of Sky

Thunder growled out rough and raw
rattling deep within its throat
Trees swayed and bent in the rising wind
Jagged lines of silver/white flashed near and far
lighting up and tearing at the smooth pale underbelly
of a cloudy/bloody rain soaked bloat
that spread across the strained to bursting sky
til finally the jagged teeth had torn it open

A rusty colored rain began to spatter with such force
like the initial arterial spray of a well-cut sacrifice
only this sacrifice just kept on giving
only this life liquid was soul chilling
Then came icy razor-sharp, red-tinged hail
slicing through almost everything
except rock, metal and bone
Cutting even through clothing and deep into the skin
on the way down to the earth
from a fucked-up heaven hanging
ragged, ripped, torn open and flapping
like cumbersome wet blankets of meaty flesh
dripping, slinging blood in the wind

Barely a Glance

She might as well have been
A tiny bit of clear grit
Carried away by the wind
So when she disappeared
She was not missed
Not even a little bit
No one noticed
That she was gone
Why would they
How could they
Why should they

She always knew it would happen
Though never sure how or why she knew
Or what good it was suppose to do
But still she knew that when she vanished
It would be as though she had never been

She might as well have been
A tiny grain of sand
Carried away by the surge
Virtually transparent
Completely worn down
So easy to miss
Why should anyone realize
She was no longer among them
Why should anyone be aware
or even care
That she was gone for good

Luna

Luna peeks into
The mountain mist
She is full and fat
Her breath scatters
The clouds blush and swirl
Luna sings as she climbs
Round and radiant
As the sky
Luminous in her light
She sees all
