Beetle Storm
Amidst a Sunny Thunderstorm shackled Hurricane
I wandered barren, moorish lands
The air tenderly held my pain
Each bloody limp, each stumble in my lane
Set about a burst of lightning summoned by my brain
Tense crackles and static streaked across the sky
Even the day-old dew refused to drop from its leaves
A black puff of anger, hatred and insane
and with a GASP I was running — making for the eaves
Manifest from pure monotony and macabre melodrama
Night lights left on and the warmth of family lava
Roads that built themselves beneath the feet beneath my feet
The wheat that folds back, it just gives
Deluge of liquid vanilla
I am swimming — no, I am floating — I am carried along
Warm blankets of heat shot through multi-layered glass
Warm dog fur
Warm everything
The heat builds up in lateral movements, an ever-gaining sinusoid
Stores its crackles, saves its flames,
must reach its crescendo, the notes are playing now, watch the tongues dance in the air!
Pink and green and purple synthesized to cure despair!
There's a snap.
Mountain top.
Fell down,
Off over.
My mind returns.
Drawn back along a compass
I'm still running
And when I look behind me
There is a swarm of black ants, beetles descending upon me in a cloud
