Requiem | Day 03 | #NaPoWriMo

We have burnt holes in the Ozone,

cleared forest and contaminated the air.

Global warming has made summers worse

and rains seem to have bid us adieu.

The ecosystem is now permanently impaired,

shifted towards an inevitable catastrophe.

In a world that has caught fire

and melting at the poles, here I am –

incompletely complete,

grateful to your damage,

making clouds shift

and winds rove inside my heart

with your thoughts,

springing rain from my vacant eyes.

every time the heat of your absence

surpasses my tolerance.
