Zero


A haste augury of vernal solitude
Smiled at this frog I desperately kissed today;
Hopping hoppity hop hop -
My heart thumped to zero.

A clamorous wave of dark lightning
Blinded to these moths I maleficently entranced;
Fluttering flutterity flut flut -
My vision slurred to zero.

An addictive petrichor of sandy trails
Sunk to these snakes I delightfully tangled;
Slithering slitherity slith slith -
My conscious strayed to zero.

A ruthless canopy of the chilling inferno
Arched to the sparrow I fondly quoted;
Whooshing whooshity whoosh whoosh -
My senses shattered to zero.

A cloudy outburst of humid nights
Spoke to the rampaging self I odiously missed;
Slashing slashity slash slash -
My life bled to zero.
