Evening embers [Day 58]
Evening embers
Relax into terran chaos,
Enjoy our smog-menagerie.
Birds call across the petrol path
Hewn from sweat.
Children sing through petrichor;
Join their chorus with your wings.
Cars explode across the portal path
Grown from tar and silicon.
Days stretch their limber arms,
Testily reaching towards summer's length
While mahogany elders refuse to console
Toddlers screaming at the night's approach.
Evening is spiced with diesel chirps,
Dinner with sparks and smoke.
Hear the children's gleeful cries
Be drenched in gasoline.

or not because that's not sustainable energy source and expensive too. Maybe spray on a little for the hint of irresponsibility like a bad boy.
a very peaceful poem
I like evening time more than morning exactly because of this peaceful mood and deep harmony
Reading it a couple times, I get something different each time.
Makes me wanna sit by a campfire for a while for some reason.
Smog makes for striking skies but it is a flashing red. Let's hope we are moving back in favour of clean air. Powerful imagery and impact:)
