epochalypse

the impact of meteor collisions

sprays rock over desert sand

i've seen the subversion changing our conditions

in the wildfire that scorches the land

a region flooded by horizontal cataracts

drowning in the debris flow

a force that despoils every human artifact

the deep and the shallow

chains of extinction

in disruption's primordial hall

i hear the roaring legion

of ocean waves

trumpeting the downfall

i taste the salt

the seasoning of time

and smell the smoke of lightning's clime

chains of extinction

in disruption's primordial hall

i hear the roaring legion

of ocean waves

a sudden cloudburst mounts the sky

lashing the shores of hope

i feel the arctic cold

as the elemental hazard

unfolds. years turn to decades

centuries to an era

a worldwide crisis opening its caldera

chains of extinction

in disruption's primordial hall

i hear the roaring legion

of ocean waves

trumpeting the downfall
