Poem: a prelude to blackness

"a prelude to blackness"

Bittersweet sunrise
On a bleak tomorrow
Weird and wild
The lost child
Played on his own

There's a black

Cloud upon us

Messenger of

The epoch
Betrayed the father
By the mother 
The sun and the moon
Strung together
Like a cobweb trapeze
Maker spider
Mother divider
Creator decider

Snakes and

Mushrooms
Coiled up

I am the privileged witness

To the end of days
The world crumbles like 
So many leaves
Falling from the acacia tree
And I laugh as it unmakes itself
Light giving way to blackness
