The moon high above,

the skin, pock-marked

and dried out. Swirling, it

gravitates around a planet

of death and destruction.

 

Footprints of a species

soon to be extinct linger

still on its rocky body.

Voices lost in the vacuum of

space, words rendered

meaningless in the end.


 

I am experimenting with a few ideas in this poem which should be considered a work in progress. I may try to chisel this poem into something more coherent in the next few poems I post this week. 

Thank you for reading my work! I hope you return in the future!
