Poem-A-Day #10

Prompt: future

    

after the flood

the tsunami

hurricanes, tornados,

earthquakes, monsoons

without end

 

after the first death

after the last death

the terminal diagnosis

the shattered heart

the asteroid impact

 

after wolf moon

after blood moon

after the long drought

the famines

the stillborn child

 

after the bamboo lemur

the crested macaque

the lowland gorilla

the fish eagle

the island marmot

 

after the black rhino

the lynx, the buffalo

the dolphin, the crane

the condor, the antelope

the tiger, the leopard

 

after the polar bear

after the walrus

after the penguin

after the bees

who will be left to grieve?
