Dream of the End

Last night I thought
the world would end
Last night I dreamt
the buildings would bend
in the wind and the cold
that our home would send
The waves soon
swept over
nothing left over
but the stars and sky
And I had wings
but still couldn’t fly
So I watched the world
slowly sink
the night covered
like black ink
And all that remained
were the sky and stars
We reached out our hands
but they were too far
We yelled our last words
but they couldn’t hear
and the waves chewed
and swallowed
world gone out
carved hollow
and the sky and the stars
watched alone
