Melting Clocks
Stone skips, in – Ducks & Drakes.
Air displaced – Levity, light hearted carelessness…
(No matter the sky.)
Like
Pink balloons -
into
Sky blue balloons…
into
The blue-blue sky,
rising in calculations of levitations,
like
a dream of innocence
lost...
Lost to the ponderous pondering
of
mechanical
existence.
Rising ever higher…
Higher
even
than we could ever
aspire.
The world was lost
like a war.
And the exacted cost
was fire -
that did aspire,
similar
to
the balloon into the blue.
Up the surface
of
cloud storage
like
A picture that melts
& goes
Into
Smelt
&
Dross

Author's Note
Well... Since this lockdown thing (my state had one hell of one/ongoing perhaps)... One day I checked out Instagram, seeing that my city had a page, so I checked out some nature photos and such... (I also very much like to see photos of MJ plants/Dimitri and even happy people/sometimes...)
... but I caught this vision... of like... "a vacation from this three ring circus side show."
In the form of an apocalyptic event sort of thing.
I thought about how we view our digital world as permanent, based on pattern seeking tendencies, and how it might look for "the world to burn".
