Raw Eraser: No, it ended quietly

Formerly Badass Horrible Poetry

This isn't just a poetry blog. Let's be honest, a lot of what I post is poetry but there are more often than not also postings about short stories. I do try to keep this blog separate from my others and post strictly creative work here. Some of it will be better than others, and much of it is in first or second draft stage when posted. These are raw works, and there will be spelling and grammar troubles at times because I use this blog to gauge what works and what doesn't. I use it as a place to get feedback. That's the reason it is "horrible". Because it's not finished-- And why should it be? We all want feedback but most of us are too afraid to put ourselves out there.

Welcome to my word.

No, it ended quietly

Bellatrix has fallen

now all Orion has too.

they forcasted the stars would fall

and some

said it would be beautiful

like incandescent dew

dropped from a doe’s

eye who’d admit

they spoke those words

when the universe contracted

and we really were dead

center.

they glittered as they fell

but no one admitted

it was beautiful then

when sulfur replaced the breezes

and suffocated the trees

with a pillow of ash

and some

said, as it glistened

far off, that it would be cool

like water

but when a gentle flutter

prodded the skin

it burned and

fingers withered into tree twigs

blackened and

crumbled

and some

became survivors

and some

of those artists

and they chopped these twisted fingers

off of corpses

and copied the whole world on a cave wall

until one day

the stars unmelted

reformed and blasted

back into the sky.
