Sattelite

I broke a window in 
winter.

The surly warmonger is 
released into the wild, and
though it was bred in captivity itself, 
Meiosis still appears to be its primary form of 
propogation.

See this. 

A plume of hatred rising through the ether only to
impact the bright face of the white watcher.

Rays splay every which way
Eclipse! 
Eclipse!
Detritus and decay!

Farbeit from us to shed tears when Luna suffocates the day!

Awesome, Geoffery. I have only started reading your work recently, but you are certainly a talent to watch! Your description of the eclipse, the moon erasing "the bright face of the white watcher," is truly brilliant! And the personification of "Luna" suffocating the day is very original and intriguing. You should get your work published! (Perhaps you already have.) Love, Carolyn
