and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts
locusts

going
going...

i never thought
the world would end like this--
in a dark cloud
descended from the heavens

i never thought
my world was so fragile--
that such a cloud
could snatch it all away

so quickly
all consuming.

i never thought
the apocalypse was nigh--
that the horsemen would ride
as metal birds up in the sky

their choking cloud
and all is fading

i never believed
my life would flash before my eyes

going
going
gone.
