Crushed rubies churn

On jagged cliffs;

Sea-jaws of stone

Spewing up blue brine;

Clouds of bubble-burst

Slope to the surface.

Brooding brushstrokes

Menace blue-black,

Silver lilt.

Storm clouds explode,

Glass drops shatter

On impact.

Bass tone sky-rips

Thunder out doom

In god’s voice,

Wake the Kraken,

Summon Armageddon:

End of days.

Black bulbs.

Black tentacles claw

Down the ancient stars,

Quell the moonlight –

Plunge the world in darkness;

Eternal pitch.

Peace now reigns

The empty vault

Like dormant field mice

Or cattle grazing.
