The Flash

Awakened by sun
knocking on lids 
savoring chatter of 
stone lipped fountain
and happy voices  
of buyers and sellers
tip tapping downhill
from the market
carrying home 
their fare
the humble survivors 
of a race
drowned in blood
blackened in ashes…
The flash!
A brand new earth
and another chance 
at starting again.
