Reflections from a Sunset Ordinance

...the petals of the black locust dropped dead on the ground, leaving the body exposed to weakness..

there was no joy in the air for the snake to feed on..
there was no dances to sing the tunes for..

a dull movement of revelation passed among the branches like a summer breeze..
it was venomous for the living, a deafening experience for the ears..
it killed thousands and millions among the population..
none knew what was coming..

it was an announced delivery of obnoxious blemish..
the blood was ready to be spilled..
but the method was different..
a cold breeze hit the swaying trees and poisoned them..
ideas inhaled the bane and fell dropping from the sky..
the trees embraced it, believing it was the earthly chill..
the sun bowed with modesty and gave way to the night..

the moon and the stars never came..
an shattered sky of darkness covered the world..
the fog revealed the truth..
the death came upon those living..

now, in this crepuscular and dreary desolation
a sparkle tried to light a fire
only to be consumed by the dusk..
