Paused

the rainbow-colored darkness,
Resting in ruins,
dancing across the clear, cloudy sky.

a frenzied paint-on smile,
Muted,
smeared across a surface of white.

screams, laughter,
Hysterical.

The world is Falling
as the sky rises.

columns of history rising, escaping
an invasion
Polluting the stretch of clarity.

piles of memories buried deep, Forgotten.
a Riot
beneath the ashes of the next.

Silence, destruction,
Fear.

the world is Crumbling,
as space rushes.

Three . . .
Two . . .
