if you saw

fire

blaze

east to west

across

black and blue

southern night sky

you might understand

nature’s blazing tip

blasting white hot tailpipe exhaust 

shooting

star

inferno

into nighttime 

pagan nature

that 

one day

will

snuff the world

with

ease

blowing out life’s candle

to

say creation’s

final

good night

to

man-made

gods
