Last Day on Castell Dinas

(1am Wed. 4th April 07 and other days)

Sun ate the sky today
we think that's where it's gone
the pollutants were all burnt off
in its self contained oven.
a quick meal
for the all-consuming hunger
at the center
of the
galaksy-at once satisfied
and the environmental warning signs
that were, by some, denied
no longer present a problem.

Better view of the stars in the daytime
..appear at port-holes, of space rockets.
the Grin of Tom-Mis-used-Cruise-Missile
coming, (unknown to us)
from the gun in his pocket,
off to take the scientist's bet to a safer spot,
set up a new celebrity-screwing,
'Cash in to improve yore aura'-spewing
racket.

Far below, some pray for death
as the air heats up
and the radio warns to
'Take Short Breaths'
then
brief hugs and suffocation
t-shirts, shorts and warm sensation.
timely end to our frustration,
as we looked up,
hoping to see shapes in the clouds
but saw only the shroud
of the universe
cover the mountain
we'd never again
walk upon.
