I said it first. I broke the silence. Shattered the earth, Echoed the sirens. I screamed it in the black Garden of wilted flowers. I saw the flowers And broke them first, Painted them black. Echoed the silence Of imaginary sirens, In the garden of the earth. I felt the earth, and smelled the flowers until I shattered with the sirens. I echoed the first Wave of silence by the garden dressed in black. I knew the black devouring the earth would bring forth silence. I watered the flowers And mowed the lawn first, By the garden through the sirens. I heard the sirens Break through the black. I was happy at first, To fear to earth. Now I hear the flowers in the garden disrupt the silence. I felt a wave of silence before I heard the sirens. I looked to the flowers For an explanation to the black, Until I felt the earth, Unravel in the garden first. First silence, Earth’s sirens, Black flowers.

Sestina
I said it first. I broke the silence. Shattered the earth, Echoed the sirens. I screamed it in the black Garden of wilted flowers. I saw the flowers And broke them first, Painted them black. Echoed the silence Of imaginary sirens, In the garden of the earth. I felt the earth, and smelled the flowers until I shattered with the sirens. I echoed the first Wave of silence by the garden dressed in black. I knew the black devouring the earth would bring forth silence. I watered the flowers And mowed the lawn first, By the garden through the sirens. I heard the sirens Break through the black. I was happy at first, To fear to earth. Now I hear the flowers in the garden disrupt the silence. I felt a wave of silence before I heard the sirens. I looked to the flowers For an explanation to the black, Until I felt the earth, Unravel in the garden first. First silence, Earth’s sirens, Black flowers.
