I want to go
to a small little village
of few people
where cats pounce
but fish leap
But who knows
anything of this town?
There floats an orb
large
and luminescent
Children cry
at its sight
some look
but their eyes flicker
away
Arms wrap
and protect
Grass blades quiver
……(the orb descends—)
Mist particles shudder
tremble
……dissipate
without warning
Holes slip
and stretch
from the weight
pressure
All it takes is
a puff
of air.
A sigh.
A breath.
And the orb crashes
sending shards
I turn away
……I can’t look back
