A low hubbub carries on the air over me

A dark grey envelopes the heavens

On introspection I see its reflection

Calm smattering gives way to a spark

 

The prior quiet besieged by panic

Smoke lends itself to the sky's palette 

The brazen, livid orange blaze meets me

A study in contrast between it and me

 

I stay unphased as it spreads 

A hellish talon offset by mercurial depths

Its vibrancy gifted to me as we continue in this

An unending dance borne of impasse

Beneath the sepulchral sky
