The sky was scarred

by the blades of the sun

It bled out the heat-filled scorn

of its abusers onto the ground

Where life elegantly withered beneath

the floods of its icy tears

and shriveled and curled

in Death's warm hands.



I saw the sky's star-filled scars

the ones it tried so hard to hide

behind wandering white clouds



"But it's okay,"

- the bird thought,

Before drowning itself

in the sky's burning tears.
