pebbles

i threw a pebble in the pond

dumb eyed i stared ’n saw

concentric riffles, ever fluid 

rings expanding from its epicenter 

plunked

the raging sound of broken stillness

lonely pebble slowly down 

settled in the muck

silver rings of plastic water

hit the shore so silently

touched my toes 

made me wonder

awash of thoughts, futile grasp 

last feeble gasps of world ending

here today, tomorrow gone 

alas, last step could be my last

a crashing tsunami oblivion blast

concentric waves of mass humanity

washed ashore for few we cry

lost in pinprick speck of mind

i threw a pebble in the pond

dumb eyed i stared ’n saw

like vaporizing dinosaurs 

become the gulf of mexico

extinction of my world
