We made nests in clocks that Summer the electricity died. Stars rose out of the ether for the first time in centuries.
Autumn rolled in but it only grew hotter. We climbed on rooftops to escape the heat of our homes and saw the silhouettes of strangers follow.
Winter choked the freeways, the subways, the old ways. Rust fell on us like rain. We danced in the belly of an abandoned ship cheeks burning with mirth.
By Spring the plants had withered and the animals had slept until their bodies devoured their souls. We sat on the town hall as the sun engulfed the sky Thankful for such a beautiful life.
