Vertigo Vultures

Vertigo Vultures 
Standing on a lone wire, a row 
of cloned troopers 
watching 
           waiting 

waiting for the natural occurrence
the Dance of Decay 
rotting away horror show
instead of popcorn 
grizzly intestines leads a 
trail of Vertigo Vultures 
to swoop down upon sailing 
black wings
a pack of grim messengers 
bearing a grim message 
a symphony that ends 
all other notes 
fleeting and fluttering 
down
      down
            down
                   down 

feasting, gorging upon the 
inner soul, innards  
squinting eyes, suspicious of 
one another.
Picking apart the meat until 
instead of pink and red, there 
is a white bone, bleached 
in the bright sunlight 
A black cloud shatters and 
dissipates, a black eye exploding 
going this way and that 
as separate entities. A assembly 
replaced by a mechanical 
monstrosity invading the road 
disrupting all thing on a 
dust covered road 
Vertigo Vultures 
sitting in a row watching 
                    waiting 
waiting for their land to 
return to normal
