Earth

What a sight they saw,

Never to be seen again.

K-T boundary.

*

Water

Megatsunami,

Yucatan Peninsula,

crater gulping sea.

*

Air

Vaporizing streak,

Nature holding its breath then

gasping in sulfur.

*

Fire

Meteor shower

puncturing dead acid sky,

dust swallowed the sun.

About the Creator

R.C. Taylor

I write to invoke, to process, to honor, to resurrect, and—sometimes—to grieve but, above all, I write to be free.
