Not With a Bang But a Whimper

Electric paper turned to dust in a peaceful explosion of masochistic sheep.

Skinned to black bones, snapping.

 

As her chemical apocalypse settles in.

 

Falling asleep upon fallen stars under a dead floral sky,

shrieking in joy at the atom’s collapse.  

 

I hadn’t known chaos until you took my hand

And showed me how the world would end.
