Mayday/Mayday/May Day

The fall is fast.

So fast,

You lose the time

to chill

Nodding off

a blind eye

Turned

to winter's grasp

Hell is hibernation.

The roaring clamor

Passerbys

Hold you captive

Static

Suspended animation

Still life

Death

Becomes her

Silent screams —

Mayday!

Mayday!

Mayday!

Watch them

Crash

and

Burn.

Impact is glorious.

Mayday!

Mayday!

Mayday!

Watch them

Surge

and

Scatter.

Light becomes consumption.

Mayday!

Mayday!

Mayday!

Watch them

Fade

and

Wither ...

An environmental humus.

***

Sophrosyne is nebulous

Green fingers

Reaching

Through

Mother Nature's Womb

Cultivating

and

Transcending

Past the Arcane —

Persephone perfumes the Earth

with Baby's Breath

and

May Day flowers.

***

The fall was fast.

So fast…
