If you think about it, Earth makes up a tiny percentage of the whole of the universe so #unearthly things are far more common than earthly things.
We're the aberration.

If something turned the world
the other way
Would things be unearthly
Would day be night
and night be day
Would love burn to ash
and drift away
It would seem that way
If only for a year things went astray
after something turned the world
the other way

Where tiny #beetles roam
Should I be a giant then
My massive foot set down beside their head
Sending them all scattering
That wall of darkness comes again
To me just another step
Watch them run to find the sun
To me just another step
To them a thousand miles hence

I hear birds on the roof
And a hundred on a wire
And a thousand in the fields
Chirping there and picking seeds
Mass exodus as onward they fly
They just stop a while
A moment or two
Before they say goodbye

Another departure from my usual style 😎

Playgiarism

I can’t be a poet, I don’t have a poet’s flair,
Don’t drown in existential dread, don’t have the flowing hair.
But somewhere in the undertones, there is a spark of life,
I write with a pen I stole from a poet’s wife.

I felt unknown things
novel and wonderful
sitting down beneath
no distance in between
the maple tree blushing red
with undertones of green

Shame

Shame has been gentrified,
With turquoise blue applied,
And vended as candour.

On furlough forever,
It may return never,
A mere cosmetic feel.

Mid-sentence

The polite “keep it down,”
Which stills his finest crown.
And leaves him like a clown?

The wasted razored words,
That fly like scattered birds,
How utterly absurd!

Hyena of the watershed
Scavenger of red
Serrated teeth raw edged
Well schooled prey
with a scissor-like bite
Together they feed
Together they fight
Patrol the rivers
dusk and dawn
The taste of blood
an ounce of flesh
And gone

No desire to rise
No desire to trudge
Nestled in bed
With my cloak
and no sword
No verve to tango
To sweat the stuff
I just want to lie
Here like a slug
It's cold outside
No fire in my jug
I just want to lie
Here like a slug
