Narrative of the End of the World

The Yellow House...

the missiles have flown…

my children lay wide-eyed
tucked in the cellar playing
with their toys in the dark

sirens blast while missile fumes
draw a configuration of lines
in a heavenly-blue oblivious sky

where birds no longer fly…

the onset of doom lands
in fiery canopies of hell somewhere
else we pray at the ultimate outcome

as our world falls away…
