Ode to Nevermore

Nevermore

Will the sun rise East

The throbbing

Horizons

Witness two bright rising suns

My children from North

Nevermore

Will the foot touch lands

Sunken grounds

They distill

Decantation a process

Within the waters

Nevermore

Will the breath be air

We grow gills

Like once lungs

Breathing a new exercise

Of birthing anew

Nevermore

Will we crawl on Earth

We will fly

The gills lost

We will pay blood more than cost

Of feathers renewed

Nevermore

Will we live alone

Our blood type

Time’s carving

The cells in our frames starving

The star-bound journeys

Nevermore

Will our eyes focus

On tired strain

Of muscles

Our bodies disappearing

Ode to nevermore
