Broken
Hold the moon carefully; human touch shattered both Earth and its quiet, weeping, whimper-soft end.
June 15, 2022
Hold the moon carefully,
it’s very fragile
so easily broken
by the human touch
just like the earth was broken,
just like the earth is broken
by that same touch.
Perhaps the world ends here
its tears falling like autumn leaves
weeping
to its end
with a whimper.
