at the bottom

of the nuclear abyss

earth is eroded

into full tombs

soil is chalk and ash

a bleak reflection

of what remains

as the bones clutter

corners of ghastly hellscape

the wind laughs

at progress disintegrated

the sepulchres glow

a white contentment

with the lack of existence

the earth is a white desert

fossilized with the past

where the skeletal forests

break and rattle

a whiteness unrealized

by the too distant suns
