In the Heavens

 

Landscape
dead
set ablaze
as the sun
with fire cries

Total burn out
as anger flares
when
confronting
ensuing lies

In revolt
the moon
implodes
lost in the
dark disguise

Quakes
in heaven
as one by one
gleaming stars
fall and die

Leaving
silence in a
moon-less depth
where stars
once lit the sky
