The Payload
"The Payload"

from the fat belly
of a ruinous pregnant cloud
bilious with buxom promise
it came crashing down
like school fish released

Over hushed quadrants
forever landlocked in snow,
time’s senseless winds blow...
leaving odd relics of lives half-revealed,
if still mostly concealed...
