Ever Reaching Across This Earth

Eclipsing Acrostics

By Oneg In The ArcticPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Echoing darkness creeps and crawls the lands like outstretched fingertips

Crossing the page of life in threatening silence

Lapping up words and worlds whole, chewing, gobbling, swallowing

Inching into crooks and corners like stardust

Paralyzing chirps and crickets mid-

Soulful serenade, a pause that hushes

Everything
