The mountain village trembles
A signal in this #habitat
a water-world as clear as glass
accustomed to a human grasp
that shakes
then falls the flakes that recreates
the snow globe’s past

What views we had from God’s high tower.
Beneath our eyes the land crawled with his creations.
Too much like us.
He kept them, after all was done, then rested on the seventh sun.
Lit with such beauty, innocent and pure.
He nurtured and bathed them in his light, while we sang songs from low-hung clouds.
Voices rising in a chorus on the sixth, find his ears in slumber on the seventh.
Awakened, angry and thundering of our insolence, our arrogance, claiming they were beautiful, while our songs now sang the bitter bellows of hideous beasts.
A brush of a hand and we fell.
Too far we fell, too far to recall the fall.
Down here now, walking with them, his precious souvenirs.

In the Eternal Hall of Fatal Foes
their portraits hung together.
One sang #songs of feathered wings.
The other?
Froze forever,
flailing,
falling
to the nether.

He stepped into the pocket
The O-line appeared stable
#Sharp eyes spy his options
like #pieces on a table.
A side-armed screen out to the sticks
The chorus rose;
the mob: "Pick six!"
A promising career;
Or just a gridiron fable?
