lanx australis

Nov 26

we orbited the sun one day
a-touring through the cosmos
but never had we seen such ray
as echoed from tomorrow

it was in truth a fearful sight
the future touched and hinted
by far the most unnatural light
that nature ever minted

could anything exist as pure
as terror at the end?
the curse for which there is no cure
no way to ever mend-

so all was done, and death had won,
we floated, lost in motion.
for what could stand against the sun?
we waited, then explosion.
