The straw is now my only connection to you -
a figurative bridge ornate with humanity.
Dark roots and boughs -
tentacular wraiths
poison earth and sky.

The free market ecology blooms.
The tree,
like a curtain,
veils the clouds.
Scudding clouds -
a marshmallow armada,
invading summer.
jutting and jagging
the looming grey monument
caps nature's crown
Typed words
Cast out into ghoulish space
Gothic panes pulse and refract
The distortion of light.
Dawn's raging furnace
succumbs to moonbeam fingers
clenching throats.
