The Reality

A wooden shed and a tree

A bucket of water and a cloth across the table

Red soil and deathly air

Richness of soil and the poignant smell of rooting flesh

The blood current of the river and beating sun heat

The tremor of their blood has stopped and their heartless bodies and derived bones are in a heap

that is slowly slowly disintegrating itself and the fumes like that of an old steamer train  

Nothing moves in the ugly stillness of the land and air

Birds? There is not any…because…well I’ll let you latter

The lives which once inhibited this land now haunt it

And the wild life too…what is left of it

I’ll tell you about the birds now

Well they are in a heap not far from the human one

You are thinking how do I know this right?

I’m the only one that has survived

Because…I…ate

all of their juicy insides

and now…now I can be king of this empty world

I have destroyed everybody and everything in it

Next on my list is to consume all the plants, houses, air and the galaxy after that I guess

Well I wouldn’t have any trouble would I…there’s nobody to stop me!
