Crimson scaled serpents
Sinuously slithering
Winding through the reeds

Infinitesimally scaled people
Of the forgotten planet
Pitter patter the surface of their planet.
Almost atomic in demeanor!
Though bulldozered many times over.
They mutilate, bleed,
Their infected flesh ooze with green.
Infinitesimally scaled people
Of the forgotten planet,
Live their lives
Scavenging from the
Garbage Bins.
Infinitesimally scaled people
Of the forgotten planet
Look upon the vaulted sky and
Pray
To be remembered!
Once in a while,
perhaps
On their national remembrance day!
Infinitesimally scaled people
Of the forgotten planet
Cry real tears like us human beings!
Their offspring are reared on mother’s milk.
The floor under their feet creaks;
Unfamiliarity creeps into their existence!
So they freak and hit the streets
Living on the cardboard scraps again!
They shave and shower on the streets!
Infinitesimally scaled people
Of forgotten planet
Inject themselves with opium like
Substances!
Sometimes they trip and sometimes they expire!

single samara
swiveling down creates a
great impediment
for minute passing life and
a dam for trickling water.

On scaled wings they fly,
through the midnight sky.
Eyes of passion, hearts of gold,
what kind of a future doth a dragon
hold? A life of fear that a knight
might come and slay? Oh would that be
their final day?
On scaled wings they fly,
through the midnight sky,
wings swift and strong gluiding
all night long, filling the air
with their song. A sudden burst through
the chest, taken to its final watery rest.
On scaled wings they fly with heads held
high, for they refuse to let their honor die,
On scaled wings they fly.
