Empty city streets alone
the sidewalks cry
the heavens weep
tears from the ground float up
to meet the drops from above
and somewhere in between
a mist a fog a #vapor 
and as I walk in its sadness 
it clings to me and so I bear
the weight of this abandoned moment
hoping for a reason where none exists
the fool's mission the dreamer's quest
the search for why and finding why not
and still the communal celestial battle
rages on with thunder
the ground becomes saturated in the heat
and more and more the rising steam
of barbed wire desire
wraps around my legs cutting through 
the cloth and staining it with heartache's blood
glistening with droplets the collision 
of the earth and sky
and maybe one day they will meet and
squash existence
and will anything grow in its place
or does this orb finally become so barren
so weak so dead
and does this vapor
containing everything we've ever known
start again
requiescat in pace
omnis abiit
