The Last Gasps of Reason - Poetry Inspired by Environmental Issues

Final.jpg


Stacks of chimneys,

graze lurid amber

cockleshell clouds,

shrouding the day

echoing the break.

Purple wire-strung

lazy sun, setting in haze,

emblazoned on the sky.


In the wake of tram-lines

from airplane trails,

a script is written -

unfurling plot in images

lost in the river’s rage.

Trees shake as charnel smoke

flays quivering leaves,

groping for meaning

in a world bereaved,

with the last gasps of reason.
