Ice Rock Cometh

Behold & beware…
green comet 
sails through
cadaverous darkness
on its journey through 
Sol’s neighborhood

Gaia’s parasites
blink at
the luminous 
icy rock
   (they are
   pummeled by 
   shocking storms
   & plagued with stormy 
   delusions)

It’s official:
humankind is
on the glowing rocks
  (obviously a major malfunction)
dodging more shoes 
 dropping like conspiring flies 
   out of a corrosive sky
caught between interstellar cigars
& hard places
   as the gods play dice 
   with entangled eons

Aargh & Yikes!
rumbles a horrified poet 
seeking & evading
The Good, The Bad &
  The Ultimate
in celestial entrails
  within fields of nightmares
blindsided by
diseased deities
  bearing apocalyptic gifts
blinded by 
tormenting tardigrades 
   waiting for the last laugh

Indeed
it is exhausting
to escape event horizons
& evade Martian ironists 
posing as poisoned 
dust devils
  howling coldly
  growling boldy
  Where No Pen has Gone Before
