Goodbye Earth
The world left us behind
Burning in her atmosphere
The cities and oceans vaporised
All that we were aflame
Blackbird like a prayer bolted
Life grew a bad temperament
An earthquake death faulted
We didn’t hear the trumpet
Drowning in this deep silence
I miss the buzz of a mosquito
I hear the sound of my own tears
A waterfall into an inferno
The earth cried blue rays
A trillion tones sprayed like spice
Her death brought dark days
Her DNA spores into empty space
