The deluge came without warning, too fast for it to seep underground. So, they broke the soil for a taste of rain and openly met the flood. They cinched towards exposed surfaces only asking for more. So quickly, it was as if their bloated bodies were ripped from the soil and thrown to the sidewalk. They littered the pathways. A mass suicide in pink.

Worms
The deluge came without warning, too fast for it to seep underground. So, they broke the soil for a taste of rain and openly met the flood. They cinched towards exposed surfaces only asking for more. So quickly, it was as if their bloated bodies were ripped from the soil and thrown to the sidewalk. They littered the pathways. A mass suicide in pink.
This is the first poem in a series of poems that will be written by me through the month of April. Celebrate National Poetry Month with a poem a day!
