Roberson Jeffers Hurst Hawls Vluture. Central Coast CA Poet

Unique poet

Winds blow leaves rustle the branches strike the windows
 the dogs are restless and move from the sofa to their crates
 I watch the leaves and branches as they dance a war 
 dance the dance of ancient tribes twirling around rocks and winds  
 preparations begin as the evening darkness spins 
 a warning dance and a blacken night
 clouds cover the sparkle of the stars the only light,
 electricity flashes from the sky, electrical wires are shut down
 man’s mechanical load, light bulbs go out  candles flicker
 and fine grained crystal satellites are fighting to remain
 the universe stretches and sings to a sun 
 stronger than anything mankind has known,
 each second a billion nuclear bombs explodes
 with earth, and planets’ moons red, white and blue 
 abandoned now oxygen free, nitrogen night atmospheric 
 emptiness  there are electrodes in the air
 magnetic fields solar flares 
 We damage the earth and the universe prepares.
